Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] pci: prevent putting nvidia GPUs into lower device
 states on certain intel bridges

for newer Windows the firmware uses bit  0x80 on 0x248 (Q0L2 being the
field name) on the bridge controller to turn of the device, on other
versions it uses the "older"? 0xb0 register and the P0LD field, which
is documented, where the former is not.
