No, I believe we should use the standard PCI PM interface to put the device
into PCI_D3hot and skip the execution of _PS3 (which is not what we do now,
but that's only because acpi_pci_set_power_state() doesn't distinguish
ACPI D3_hot from ACPI D3_cold).

If the standard PCI PM interface is not supported, the PCI_D3hot state is not
well defined for the device.
