Thanks for the problem report.  If I understand correctly, when you
boot this HP Pavilion dv6, you normally see this in the dmesg:

  pci 0000:00:1a.0: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001
  pci 0000:00:1d.0: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001
  pci 0000:19:00.0: xHCI BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug ?) 00010401

and when you attempt a power-off, it hangs after the "Power down"
message and never actually turns the power off.  But sometimes, you
don't see those "handoff failed" messages, and then a power-off works
as expected?

I'm a little confused by the mention of "suspend."

My guess is that this is actually a USB issue, not a PCI core problem.

Sounds like this is actually a regression, but we don't have a solid
idea of what kernel worked.
