Unfortunately this will prevent atkbd from resetting keyboard on 2nd
suspend attempt. It will also not work if you have an active MUX and
have a couple of keyboards connected.

Greg, now that you removed rwsem from subsystem (and subsystem itself
for that matter) there is nothing as far as I can see that stops
several threads from running device_shutdown() simultaneously. I also
do not see what would isolate device probing and shutting them down
at the same time. Am I missing something?
