This is "without drivers" only or does it include devices that have a
driver and no PM ops ?
In the later case, the worry is that the driver will potentially still
take shared interrupts after you have disabled the device. I know the
normal disable path only disables bus mastering, which is a GOOD
thing :-) but the pcibios hook might do more here ...
I would recommend only doing that disabling in the "noirq" phase of
suspend to avoid problems here. Do you see any reason that wouldn't
work ?
Cheers,
Ben.
