Just to be sure, after "sleep", do both devices report "suspended" in
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1c.0/power/runtime_status
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/power/runtime_status

and was this reproduced with a recent mainline kernel with no special
cmdline options? The endlessm kernel on Github seems to have quite some
patches, one of them explicitly disable runtime PM:

Could you share some details:
- acpidump
- lspci -nnxxxxvvv
- BIOS version (from /sys/class/dmi/id/)
- kernel version (mainline?)

Perhaps there is some magic in the ACPI suspend or resume path that
causes this.

Yes that would be the function, called via pci_save_state.

Only non-bridge devices can be passed to a guest, but perhaps logging
access to the emulated bridge is already sufficient. The Prefetchable
Base Upper 32 Bits register is at offset 0x28.

In a trace where the Nvidia device is disabled/enabled via Device
Manager, I see writes on the enable path:

    2571@1535108904.593107:rp_write_config (ioh3420, @0x28, 0x0, len=0x4)

For Linux, I only see one write at startup, none on runtime resume.
I did not test system sleep/resume. (disable/enable is arguably a bit
different from system s/r, you may want to do additional testing here.)

https://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-stuff/blob/master/d3test/XPS9560/slogs/linux-rp.txt
lspci for the emulated bridge:
https://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-stuff/blob/master/d3test/XPS9560/lspci-vm-vfio.txt#L359
The rp_*_config trace points are non-standard and require patches:
