Drivers or subsystems will set the flag.  It should not be set for
devices without drivers or subsystems, because the flag means that the
hardware doesn't support runtime power management, and the kernel
wouldn't know this if there was no driver or subsystem.

The flag will not be set to start with.  The idea is that you set it 
when you know for certain that the device cannot be power-managed, but 
you still want the Runtime PM API to work with the device.  In 
particular, calls to pm_runtime_resume() will succeed.

The patch is below.  I haven't tested it with anything meaningful, but 
it seems straightforward enough.

One side point: The patch changes the string displayed for the 
power/runtime_status attribute file when disable_depth > 0.  Instead of 
"unsupported", it will now say "disabled".  The attribute will contain 
"not supported" when the new flag is set.

Is this acceptable?
