Gigabyte X299 DESIGNARE EX motherboard has one PCIe root port that is
connected to an Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt controller. This port has slot
implemented bit set in the config space but other than that it is not
hotplug capable in the sense we are expecting in Linux (it has
dev->is_hotplug_bridge set to 0):

This system is using ACPI based hotplug to notify the OS that it needs
to rescan the PCI bus (ACPI hotplug).
If there is nothing connected in any of the Thunderbolt ports the root
port will not have any runtime PM active children and is thus
automatically runtime suspended pretty soon after boot by PCI PM core.
Now, when a device is connected the BIOS SMI handler responsible for
enumerating newly added devices is not able to find anything because the
port is in D3.
Prevent this from happening by blacklisting PCI power management of this
particular Gigabyte system.

I checked booting Windows on the same system and it does not put any of the
PCIe root ports to low power states so there is no issue in Windows. I'm
also quite certain Windows does not have similar blacklist.
I wonder if our pci_bridge_d3_possible() heuristics would need to be
refined somehow? At least if this blacklist starts growing.
