But pci_dev_run_wake() returning "true" doesn't guarantee that wakeup
signaling will actually work. What it tells you is merely that
everything appears to be in place for wakeup to work from the software
perspective and it is a bit biased on the optimistic side, so I'm not
really sure if that's what you need.

Maybe you should just override the PCI PM unconditionally and do
what's needed from you PM domain callbacks. Dunno.
