Is there any reason anyone can think of to not add a NULL power

power handler prevents the system from going to sleep at all.
ipmi(4) should probably not suspend if its watchdog timer is active.
Would it be sufficient for ipmi(4) to refuse to suspend (return false
from the suspend method) if the watchdog is active?
Or should it make some sort of effort to disable the watchdog, and
attempt to reenable the watchdog during the subsequent resume?
