[driver model] Add save() and restore() methods for system device drivers.
It turns out that at least some system device drivers need to allocate
memory and/or sleep for one reason or another when either saving or
restoring state.
Instead of adding a 'level' paramter to the suspend() and resume() methods,
which I despise and think is a horrible programming interface, two new
methods have been added to struct sysdev_driver:
int (*save)(struct sys_device *, u32 state);
int (*restore)(struct sys_device *);
that are called explicitly before and after suspend() and resume()
respectively, with interrupts enabled. This gives the drivers the
flexibility to allocate memory and sleep, if necessary.
