We can add that into acpi_target_sleep_state.  But pci_set_power_sate()
is public API and used by many places already, do a quick search in
recent kernel source.

$ grep 'pci_set_power_state' -r . | grep -v PCI_D3hot | grep -v PCI_D0 | grep -v pci_choose_state | wc -l

yields:
55

$ grep 'pci_set_power_state' -r . | grep -v PCI_D3hot | grep -v PCI_D0 | grep -v pci_choose_state | grep -i d3cold

yields:
./drivers/misc/cb710/core.c:            pci_set_power_state(pdev, PCI_D3cold);
./arch/x86/pci/mrst.c:  pci_set_power_state(dev, PCI_D3cold);

Although we can check/fix them one by one.  We need to prevent future
pci_set_power_state to accept PCI_D3cold in some situation.

So I think we need to constrain the parameter of pci_set_power_state
anyway.  Maybe something like below in pci_set_power_state is better
than my previous one.

/* D3cold during system suspend/hibernate is not supported yet */
if (!dev->runtime_d3cold && state > PCI_D3hot)
	state = PCI_D3hot;

if (state > PCI_D3cold)
	state = PCI_D3cold;
