What I'm saying is that you don't *know* what the usage state of the
hardware is, and in many cases you can't know. A given user may be happy
to sacrifice their SATA hotplug support. Another with identical hardware
may not. A given network application may be mission critical and
intolerant of the network interface being shut down. The same
application in a different context may not. We'd need to provide a
bewildering array of interfaces to distinguish between these situations,
and we'd be unable to turn on autosuspend until the entirity of
userspace had been ported to them.
