This is runtime power management. It can save energy on any computer.
You compile your kernel with CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND and to see something
in syslog with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG.
Plug in the device, locate its sysfs directory, cd into it and do
echo "auto" >power/level

After a few seconds of idleness the device and the hub it's connected to
(if it's the only device at that hub) should suspend. You'll get a message
about it in the kernel log.
