(copied to linux-kernel and Martin Mares, Linux PCI maintainer)

Since 2.2.x stuff like this have been handled in the generic PCI layer,
not on a per-driver basis.  (though 2.2.x doesn't cover nearly all the
PCI-related stuff that 2.3.x does, especially WRT PM and hotplug)

Would someone be up to submitting a patch to the kernel which notices
and corrects for this behavior for the general case?

Regards,

	Jeff
