Actually, there can be times when you don't want to turn on devices at
all.  Walking the whole tree turning them on might be the wrong to
do...

Sometimes I think that things in the newbus tree should have a pointer
to the acpi power methods that are used in coordination with the bus
code that is 'activating' the device before the 'probe' and 'attach'
happens.
