Quick answer: See the comments at the start of local_pci_probe() in 
drivers/pci/pci-driver.c.  PCI devices without a kernel driver are 
always left in D0, regardless of the runtime PM status.  This is 
because userspace may try to use the device, and the kernel wouldn't 
know to take the device out of D3 when that happens.

I don't know the answer to that.  It's probably closely related to the 
issue of whether PCI bridges need to have a kernel driver.
