I know we've got these all over now, but functions that just take a
bool are generally hard to read when you just look at the call site.
If it was called "acpi_pm_set_wakeup_power" and then took an on/off
enum it would be really easy to see, from the callsite, what was going
on.

It's a fairly minor complaint, but it's something that's always bugged
me about the PCI PM code in particular.
