Section 5.4.1 of PCI PM 1.1. spec is about D3_hot.  Specifically, it says
that if a device in D3_hot is programmed to D0, it performs the equivalent of
a warm reset.  IOW, this is supposed to happen if the current state is D3_hot
and the targed state is D0, which is covered by the code snippet above.
