Alas, not all of them as it turns out and even if they do, it doesn't
work for some of them. That's why we've added the PCIe devices polling
(quite recently, for that matter).

If you'd spent some time on some proper research regarding that (like browsing
the changelogs of git commits modifying the relevant part of drivers/pci/pci.c),
you'd have known that already.

And that actually is quite important, because I don't have to remember every
single PM-related change we're making in the PCI layer.  I _incidentally_ do
remember this one, but that may not happen next time.  Please do the research
_before_ proposing changes of this kind.

Thanks,
Rafael
