Yes, maybe implement this interface in PCI core is better.

This is a good idea, I will try to enhance pci_device_serial_number to
support legacy PCI device VPD capability. Then I will try to move this to
a more generic place.

Acpiphp driver is not attached to a specific pci/pcie device, so i think
there is no point to call driver->suspend/resume interface.
