Subject: [patch] [resend] Fix swsusp with PNP BIOS

Hello,
swsusp is unable to suspend my machine (DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook) with 
kernel 2.6.17.5 because it's unable to suspend PNP device 00:16 (mouse).

The problem is in PNP BIOS. pnp_bus_suspend() calls pnp_stop_dev() for the 
device if the device can be disabled according to pnp_can_disable(). The 
problem is that pnpbios_disable_resources() returns -EPERM if the device is 
not dynamic (!pnpbios_is_dynamic()) but insert_device() happily sets 
PNP_DISABLE capability/flag even if the device is not dynamic. So we try to 
disable non-dynamic devices which will fail. 
This patch prevents insert_device() from setting PNP_DISABLE if the device is 
not dynamic and fixes suspend on my system.
