Fortunately I had it a tad bit wrong, but in a good way. Our ordering
on our way down is:

 o notifier for suspend issued - *going to suspend*
 o userspace frozen
 o filesystem freeze (new, being proposed)
 o device driver pm ops called

Then on our way up:

  o device driver pm ops called
  o filesystem thaw
  o userspace thaw
  o notifier for resume issued - *thawing*

So the driver callbacks get called *later*, so anything called in
notifiers do get a chance to quiesce things properly.
