is something like this fine?

Fixes the infamous 'runpm' bug many users are facing on Laptops with Nvidia
Pascal GPUs by skipping PCI power state changes on the GPU.

It's still unknown why this issue exists, but this is a reliable workaround
and solves a very annoying issue for user having to choose between a
crashing kernel or higher power consumption of their Laptops.
