We should in theory, but we didn't do any power management of PCI bridges
before, so this is the first time we have a problem with it.

So I'd say, yeah, let's resume if current_state is between D1 and D3cold
inclusive and the kexec comment is not very helpful (the problem is not
kexec-specific in general).

Speaking of kexec, it might consider using the hibernation device freeze
instead of device shutdown (which the kexec jump feature does).  I've seen
reports of problems that would be solved this way most likely.

Thanks,
Rafael
