I have reviewed the patches and I think they make sense overall.  However,
the statement that acpi_pci_bind()/acpi_pci_unbind() are used to maintain
PCI-ACPI binding relationships is quite inaccurate, because all what these
functions do is to (1) add/remove ACPI PM notifiers to/from PCI devices and
(2) retrieve the _PRT information for bridges from ACPI tables.  In fact,
the *binding* itself is managed by the code in drivers/acpi/glue.c.

Also, please have a look at my suggestion in the last reply to Yinghai:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=135522965707752&w=2

In fact, I think we can go even further than that.  Namely, if we populate the
ACPI handle of the device in pci_scan_device(), then we can just move the PM
notifier and wakeup setup to platform_pci_wakeup_init(), where it should be
(we'll also need to add a corresponding _exit() function, then, but that'll be
much cleaner anyway).

Then, the remaining thing would be to ensure that _PRT entries are parsed
as appropriate somewhere around pci_init_capabilities().

Also, I wonder if you can help test the $subject patchset on a system with
hardware PCI hotplug (preferably on top of the linux-pm.git/master branch)?
