    It's true that the existing sys.c file lies in drivers/base; this is
    presumably because it handles a bunch of class-related registration
    stuff. Now you're getting rid of all that, leaving just the
    power-related operations, so doesn't it make more sense to put this
    file in drivers/base/power?

    If an error occurs, you need to go back and resume all the things that
    were suspended. At least, that's what the code in sysdev_suspend does.
