This is a per-function method though. The ACPI code should
be able to keep that straight ... simple refcounting on the
power resources would suffice, assuming it goes the route of
managing power resources rather than just invoking the methods
associated with each device.

Sounds like an ACPI bug to me: not properly tracking the users
of a given PCI power resource. I can't see that bug without
getting a Novell login -- you might want post the report rather
than its URL.

Didn't touch it ... pre-existing bugs shouldn't have been affected.
The only behavioral change in that particular method should have been
safer handling of an out-of-range parameter.
