It is temporary.

I'd prefer to connect the suspend/resume/shutdown function
pointers to "struct cfattach", directly or indirectly.
This would save the calls to register these, and one would't
have to take care to deregister at detach time.
Also, with some creative use of cpp, one could more easily
deselect unneeded features, for embedded platforms or so.

But first the APIs should stabilize - changes to
CFATTACH_DECL affect the whole tree.
(I expect API refinements to support eg S1 sleep levels or
device wakeup.)

best regards
Matthias
