[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.
