data for the callback
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Issue a power management request to a all devices. The 
PM_SUSPEND events are handled specially. Any device is 
permitted to fail a suspend by returning a non zero (error)
value from its callback function. If any device vetoes a 
suspend request then all other devices that have suspended 
during the processing of this request are restored to their
previous state.
.SH "WARNING"
.PP
This function takes the pm_devs_lock. The lock is not dropped until
the callbacks have completed. This prevents races against pm locking
functions, races against module unload pm_unregister code. It does
mean however that you must not issue pm_ functions within the callback
or you will deadlock and users will hate you.
.PP
Zero is returned on success. If a suspend fails then the status
from the device that vetoes the suspend is returned.
.SH "BUGS"
.PP
what stops two power management requests occurring in parallel
and conflicting.
