Was it compile-tested for both PM_SLEEP and !PM_SLEEP cases?

If driver wants to have pm-specific fields in its structures, this
will make it harder.

Ifdefs are ugly, and this has better compiler coverage in !PM_SLEEP
case. Good. OTOH most people are running with PM_SLEEP, so advantage
is not great...
