If you had read all e-mails in this thread or looked at the bugzilla
entry I've created, you wouldn't have to ask this question.

I think it's disappointing that you're asking me to jump through
various hoops like creating a bugzilla entry, as well as threatening
to revert my patch, but are unwilling to even look at the bugzilla
entry or read the entire thread.  It is equally disappointing that
the reporter of the regression was unwilling or unable to provide
dmesg output for both machines so that we've got no real idea what
we're dealing with.

It's a Link Up event.

Which doesn't make sense of course because per the spec PME is only
supposed to be signaled when the Link Status *changes* from 0 to 1,
which is not supposed to happen for a slot that has been manually
disabled.  It's a quirk of this (unknown) hardware.

The table doesn't seem to be in congruence with reality.  The hotplug
ports on Thunderbolt chips emit hotplug interrupts in D3hot regardless
of PME.  The Broadcom wireless cards I submitted an early quirk for
last year likewise emitted interrupts in D3hot.
