I'm about ready to test the appended patch... a "move one device" call
might be safest at this point in the release cycle though.

========================	SNIP!
Change how the PM list is constructed, so that devices are added right
after their parents (when they have one) rather than at the end of the
list.  This preserves sequencing guarantees, but enables sequencing of
suspend/resume operations by more important characteristics than "when
device happened to enumerate" ... e.g. clocksources and clockevents
at a clearly defined point during suspend and resume.

This patch has a potential downside for devices that have multiple
power dependencies and which "just happened to work" before.
