Hey, you don't get to do that ... I asked you to figure out why we're
missing an ahd_restore_modes().  Removing the ahd_save_modes() is
cosmetic: it gets rid of a warning but doesn't fix the problem.  I'd
rather keep the warning until the problem is fixed and the problem is
we need a mode save/restore around the ahd_set_modes() which is only
partially implemented in this function.
