[Adding Bjorn and linux-pci to the CC: list]

In short, Pierre's USB host controller doesn't send wakeup signals from
runtime suspend, because the firmware limits the runtime-suspend state
to D0 and the controller can't issue PME# from the D0 state.  In this
situation we would prefer to avoid suspending the controller at all,
rather than have it go into runtime suspend and then stop working.

If necessary, it could be moved into hcd_pci_runtime_suspend().  But I 
would prefer to put it in the PCI core.

That sounds like a bug.  Or rather, accepting D0 as the target state
when it doesn't support PME# is the bug.

First, the device_may_wakeup() test applies only to suspend suspend, 
not to runtime suspend.  The current PM design assumes that wakeup will 
always be enabled during runtime suspend (if the device supports it).

Second, there is a potential problem because some PCI devices have
other platform-based mechanisms for sending wakeup signals, instead of
using PME#.  Such devices probably don't support standard PCI wakeup at
all.  (A good example is the UHCI controllers on Intel's old chipsets.)
We don't want to prevent them from going into runtime suspend.

Now, maybe this isn't an issue -- I don't know enough about the details
of how the PCI core handles runtime suspend and how it coordinates with
the platform code.

Hopefully Bjorn can fill in the missing details.
