Is it possible to add the suspend/resume support to Intelfb instead of
the DRM driver and then just load both drivers? Do we really want to
start building another suspend/resume infrastructure inside of DRM if
it is possible to address the problem through existing means? It seems
to me like this could get very complicated if both DRM and fbdev both
start to try controlling suspend/resume.

Ben, to fill you in Alan has added hooks in DRM to create a sysdev
device. Sysdev devices have suspend/resume hooks thus allowing DRM
into the suspend/resume process. This gets around the problem of fbdev
being attached to the hooks.
