No.  Context save/restore *is* a part of Power Management.  It is needed
to support Dynamic Power Switching (DPS).

The voltage regulators are controlled via the enable/disable methods
even when CONFIG_PM is not defined.

Note that the voltage regulators to which I refer, power the cards not
the host controllers.

So the power to the host controller is under the control of Power Management
and is supported by context save/restore.

The power to the cards is controlled by the driver (omap_hsmmc) using the
enable/disable methods.
