This is not enough, because the PM code doesn't change system_state and
it uses pci_set_power_state too.

Well, I'm not really sure.  The drivers are where the bug is.

This breaks suspend/hibernation, doesn't it?  Surely, we want to put devices
into D3 when going for suspend, for example.

That's apart from the fact that the 'state == PCI_D3cold' is redundant.

I don't like this at all, sorry.

I thought we were supposed to avoid using system_state in such a way,
apart from the other things.
