Hmm. What about the appended patch, then?

Subject: PM: Add facility for advanced testing of async suspend/resume
Add configuration switch CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG for compiling in
extra PM debugging/testing code allowing one to access some
PM-related attributes of devices from the user space via sysfs.
If CONFIG_PM_ADVANCED_DEBUG is set, add sysfs attribute power/async
for every device allowing the user space to access the device's
power.async_suspend flag and modify it, if desired.
