Then we'd be doing nothing at all in state 2!  We'd be better off *not*
calling the fb_power hook from fbmem.c in the first place.

I thought all that was meant to save power when DCON is frozen.  Otherwise,
ajax's patch for freezing DCON would be pretty pointless, wouldn't it?

Btw, I feel this patch would also fix the funny artifacts we observed when
we applied ajax's patch for X11.  What do you think?

... I meant to say "fb_blank()" here, of course.  How do you feel about this?
