Unfortunately, that's also where we're currently doing the accounting 
for when power domains lose context.  Drivers rely on this to determine
whether or not to restore context, so it's not a debug only feature.

Yes.  The goal of the use-counting series is so that proper accounting
can be done when the usecount changes so that not all of them have to be
done in the idle path.
