Interesting idea. The power management area probably can be solved
by the existing notifiers framework, see register_pm_notifier().
I haven't checked it but if the notifiers are called on right
locations, it would be cleaner than adding the calls into
the pm code.

Note that there already all many printk/console related "hacks"
in sensitive code paths. For example, see the use of
pm_prepare_console(), suspend_console(), console_level.
