Our code -recognizes that the SELECT register cannot be modified without also -writing a command. It send an IDLE_IMMEDIATE command on selecting a -drive. The function also prevents drive select to the slave drive -since there can be only one. The awkward part is that the IDE driver, -even though we have a select procedure, also attempts to change the -drive by writing directly the SELECT register. This attempt is -explicitly blocked by the OUTB function--not pretty, but effective. - -The lack of interrupts is a more serious problem. Even though the CF -card is fast when compared to a normal IDE device, we don't know that -the CF is really flash. A user could use one of the very small hard -drives being shipped with a CF interface. The IDE code includes a -check for interfaces that lack an IRQ. In these cases, submitting a -command to the IDE controller is followed by a call to poll for -completion.

In those +cases it generally is not possible to put devices into low-power states +individually. Instead, a set of devices sharing a power resource can be put +into a low-power state together at the same time by turning off the shared +power resource. Of course, they also need to be put into the full-power state +together, by turning the shared power resource on. A set of devices with this +property is often referred to as a power domain. + +Support for power domains is provided through the pwr_domain field of struct +device. This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_power_domain, +defined in include/linux/pm.h, providing a set of power management callbacks +analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed +for the given device during all power transitions, in addition to the respective +subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, the power domain "suspend" callbacks +(i.e. ->runtime_suspend(), ->suspend(), ->freeze(), ->poweroff(), etc.) are +executed after the analogous subsystem-level callbacks, while the power domain +"resume" callbacks (i.e. ->runtime_resume(), ->resume(), ->thaw(), ->restore, +etc.) are executed before the analogous subsystem-level callbacks.
