Please provide clearer information on the process that you are expecting

I was hoping that replying to your message asking for new topics and
sending to the (different to normal) e-mail address you were requesting
was a good way of indicating a new topic.

Currently we don't do anything useful to capture inter-device
dependencies outside the parent/child relationship.  This means that
during boot we can get a very largee number of probe attempts which gets
messy from a logging point of view and means that during suspend and
resume we don't do anything to make sure we're suspending and resuming
things in a useful order.

Currently it's all hacked with link order and is very fragile.
