PM / core / docs: Convert sleep states API document to reST

Move the document describing the system sleep state transitions API
for devices to Documentation/driver-api/pm/, convert it to reST and
update it to use current terminology.  Also remove the remaining
reference to the old version of it from pm.h.

The new document still contains references to some documents in the
.txt format that will be converted later.

 Leaving Hibernation
 -------------------

 Resuming from hibernation is, again, more complicated than resuming from a sleep
 state in which the contents of main memory are preserved, because it requires
 a system image to be loaded into memory and the pre-hibernation memory contents
 to be restored before control can be passed back to the image kernel.
 
-Although in principle, the image might be loaded into memory and the
+Although in principle the image might be loaded into memory and the

 can't be done because boot loaders aren't smart enough and there is no
 established protocol for passing the necessary information.  So instead, the
-boot loader loads a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, into
-memory and passes control to it in the usual way.  Then the boot kernel reads
-the system image, restores the pre-hibernation memory contents, and passes
-control to the image kernel.  Thus two different kernels are involved in

-from the image kernel: a different configuration and even a different version.
-This has important consequences for device drivers and their subsystems.

+To be able to load the system image into memory, the restore kernel needs to

 medium containing the image, although it doesn't need to include all of the

 devices managed by the boot kernel need to be prepared for passing control back
 to the image kernel.  This is very similar to the initial steps involved in

+Power Management Notifiers
+==========================
 
-Device Power Management Domains
--------------------------------
-Sometimes devices share reference clocks or other power resources.  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. A power domain may also be
-nested inside another power domain. The nested domain is referred to as the
-sub-domain of the parent domain.
+There are some operations that cannot be carried out by the power management
+callbacks discussed above, because the callbacks occur too late or too early.
+To handle these cases, subsystems and device drivers may register power
+management notifiers that are called before tasks are frozen and after they have
+been thawed.  Generally speaking, the PM notifiers are suitable for performing
+actions that either require user space to be available, or at least won't
+interfere with user space.
 
-Support for power domains is provided through the pm_domain field of struct
-device.  This field is a pointer to an object of type struct dev_pm_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, instead of the respective
-subsystem-level callbacks.  Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is
-not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be
-executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and
-analogously for all of the remaining callbacks.  In other words, power
-management domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take
-precedence over the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus
-type).

-it into account in any way.
 
-Devices may be defined as IRQ-safe which indicates to the PM core that their
-runtime PM callbacks may be invoked with disabled interrupts (see
-Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt for more information).  If an IRQ-safe
