Ugh. I'd really prefer us to assume that drivers are able to cope unless 
proven otherwise. Userspace policy makes sense where we don't have any 
idea whether something will work or not, but I'd really expect that most 
PCI drivers will either cope (in which case they'll have enabling code) 
or won't (in which case they won't). Why would we want userspace to 
influence this?

I'll look at that.

Seems fair.

My understanding of the API was that pm_device_put() invokes 
runtime_idle if the refcount hits 0. The bus layer has no idea of the 
refcount, and calling suspend directly from the driver would defeat the 
point of the system-wide recounting.
