I'm still lost on what this means.  The device doesn't receive 'D3hot'
from the host, it receives a shutdown request.  And we don't just do
that when hibernating, but also when doing an actual shutdown, a suspend
to disk, unbinding the driver, etc.  So if the device has a problem
with shutdowns we really are in trouble.
