Well, the problem is that we have to enable the devices that share the GPE to
wake up together, but the child device we _really_ want to wake-up need not
be any of them.

Also, the child device may be enabled to wake up after we've run the "glue"
code.

Well, perhaps it's better to rework pci_enable_wake() so that it, if the device
doesn't have an ACPI handle and is not PCIe, it will go and enable the root
bridge to wake up as well?

I wonder what about the bridges between the desired wake-up device and the
root bridge.  I guess they also should be enabled to wake-up, so that they can
forward the PME# in case the system is designed this way.

Thoughts?

Ah, I think that's going to be useful.

Thanks,
