Looks like this is not a pci specific stuffs. And there's some driver 
left (e.g scsi and block).

In fact, I'm not sure touching other drivers is really needed. Maybe we 
can just:
- move virtio_device_freeze(), virtio_device_restore() and 
.freeze/.restore in virtio_driver out of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
- move virtnet_freeze() and virtnet_restore() out of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
- introduce virtio_net_reset() and call 
virtio_device_freeze()/virtio_device_restore() there

Another possible issue for sleep/hibernation is xdp_prog were not 
restored, if this is not XDP intended, we'd better fix this.

Thanks
