  • Some subsystems need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown
    operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled. The only
    way to register such operations is to define a sysdev class and
    a sysdev specifically for this purpose which is cumbersome and
    inefficient. Moreover, the arguments taken by sysdev suspend,
    resume and shutdown callbacks are practically never necessary.

    For this reason, introduce a simpler interface allowing subsystems
    to register operations to be executed very late during system suspend
    and shutdown and very early during resume in the form of
    strcut syscore_ops objects.
