Is that from from experience or do you mean there is a spec behavior?

IE I'm wondering if we have different "expectations" from different 
company's hardware designers.

Right; so currently there is nothing checking they really made it back 
to D0 after calling pci_power_up().  I feel like we've "mostly" gotten 
lucky.

If you guys agree with this patch series direction this could 
potentially mean cleaning up more code that exists for random delays in 
the PCI core too.
