It includes devices with drivers and without PM ops (either "legacy" or "new"), the idea being that in the simplest cases the driver should not be required to implement PM ops and the device should be handled nevertheless. > In the later case, the worry is that the driver will potentially still > take shared interrupts after you have disabled the device.

I don't know about ppc, but on x86 the pcibios hook is only supposed to disable the device's interrupt link. > I would recommend only doing that disabling in the "noirq" phase of > suspend to avoid problems here.

When we implement the changes discussed in the "PCI PM: Restore standard config registers of all devices early" thread, that part will end up in suspend_noirq.
