A reasonable compromise would be to define the macro, and then use it 
in those three new functions (and nowhere else).

The existing rpm_idle, rpm_suspend, and rpm_resume routines should then 
be changed to use the new functions.  And of course, the new functions 
could be called directly by subsystems or PM domains.
