I believe most (almost all?) child devices of the GFX0 (and other
acpi-video) ACPI device will not have a _PS0. So wrt child-devices
this should mostly be a no-op.
However the GFX0 ACPI device is the ACPI companion for the PCI
device for the GPU, so this will also execute _PS0 on the GPU,
we do that every suspend/resume cycle so this should be fine.
But if we do see regressions then we may need to rework this
to skip the _PS0 on the GPU itself.
With that caveat this looks good to me:
