Actually, no.  That's a gap in the Linux-PM framework:  there's no way
to shut down tasks cleanly before starting the driver suspend sequence.

Which means there's no "shut the I/O queues down" hook, short of calling
the lowest level driver's suspend() method.

Although ... once the class suspend() and resume() stuff starts working,
then I/O requests that are issued through class code -- classic example
being the network stack -- could be shut down at that level, so drivers
won't have to replicate the relevant (error prone) code.
