Yup. And btw, the ACPI+PCI use case works beautifully already today. I
will followup to my other Tested-by with a bit more detail later, but
these patches have successfully been used on a wide range of PCIe based
hardware already (I personally have tried a number of 10G network cards,
SATA, USB, and even a graphics card or two for giggles).
