Rafael, you're making this _way_ too difficult.

Don't make it use the new PM infrastructure, because that one is certainly 
broken: pci_pm_default_suspend_generic() is total crap.

It's saving the disabled state. No WAY is that correct.

That "pci_disable_enabled_device()" should be removed, but even then 
that's wrong, because if the driver suspend disabled it, you're now 
(again) saving the disabled state.

But all of that is only called if you use the new PM infrastructure. So 
the thing is, when you're trying to move the PCI-E drive to the new pm 
infrastructure, you're making things _worse_.

The legacy PM infrastructure at least does the whole

	pci_dev->state_saved = false;
	i = drv->suspend(pci_dev, state);
	..
	if (pci_dev->state_saved)
		goto Fixup;

thing, which will avoid overwriting the state if it was already saved.

HOWEVER. The problem here (I think) is that PCI-E actually does the state 
save late, so it won't ever see the "state_saved" in the early ->suspend. 
I think a patch like the one below at least simplifies this all, and lets 
the PCI layer itself do all the core restore stuff.

The new PM infrastructure gets this totally wrong, and
 (a) disables the device before saving state
and
 (b) overwrites the (now corrupted) saved state that the driver perhaps 
     already saved, after the driver may even have put it to sleep.

So let's not use the new PM infrastructure - I don't think it's ready yet.

Let's start simplifying first. Start off by getting rid of the 
suspend_early/resume_late, since the PCI layer now does it for us.

I don't see why we don't resume with IO/MEM on, though. The legacy suspend 
sequence shouldn't disable them, afaik.
