I don't think so. Rafael's description was pretty clear.

No. That patch addresses something _similar_ to the suspend blocker
functionality. The fact remains, though, that pm_qos is not used
during system suspend (the /sys/power/state interface), hence changes
to pm_qos won't solve the system-suspend problems that suspend blockers
do solve.
