Alas this patch is a regression for PPC. Please apply patch "1394: fix
for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc" by Danny
Tholen too. The latter patch is enqueued for 2.6.17.y and (so I hope)
for 2.6.18-rc which both contain Robert's patch. I attached Danny's
patch as I cannot safely send it inline right now.

_If_ you don't want to add Danny's patch until it actually appeared in
2.6.18-rc, please revert Robert's patch for the time being.

Thanks, and sorry for the mess.

Subject: 1394: fix for recently added firewire patch that breaks things on ppc
From: Danny Tholen <obiwan@mailmij.org>

Recently a patch was added for preliminary suspend/resume handling on
!PPC_PMAC.  However, this broke both suspend and firewire on powerpc
because it saves the pci state after the device has already been disabled.

This moves the save state to before the pmac specific code.

Probably not a big deal, but IIRC this was cleanup patch. I am not
sure if it is worth merging into -stable.

This patch removed an option that didn't have any effect.

IOW, less possible user confusion with no risk.

Additionally, the help text could wrongly imply for a user enabling this 
option would bring additional security.

Not a big deal, but my personal opinion was to merge it.
