I don't think so.  Rafael's description was pretty clear.

No.  That patch addresses something _similar_ to the suspend blocker
functionality.  The fact remains, though, that pm_qos is not used
during system suspend (the /sys/power/state interface), hence changes
to pm_qos won't solve the system-suspend problems that suspend blockers 
do solve.
