Yes, I checked for this issue in the past and I'm certain that nouveau
runtime pm works fine.

I also checked again now on X542UQ and the results are the same.
nouveau can do runtime suspend/resume (confirmed by reading
runtime_status) and then render 3D graphics OK. lspci is fine too. It
is just S3 suspend that is affected. This was testing on Linux 4.18
unmodified. I had to set nouveau runpm parameter to 1 for it to use
runtime pm.

Also checked with Karol's patch, the S3 issue is still there. Seems
like 2 different issues.

Linux 4.18 mainline

acpidump: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dsd/79352284d4adce14f30d70e94fad89f2/raw/ed9480e924be413fff567da2edd5a2a7a86619d0/gistfile1.txt

I managed to install Win10 Home under virt-manager with the nvidia
device passed through.
However the nvidia windows driver installer refuses to install, says:
    The NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of Windows.
    This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

One trick for similar sounding problems is to change hypervisor vendor
ID but no luck here.

I was going to check if I can monitor PCI bridge config space access
even without the nvidia driver installed, but I can't find a way to
make the windows VM suspend and resume - the option is not available
in the VM.
