Well, I have a patchset here that seems to fix it.  But as far as I can test,
nothing turns the resources off later (might be USB braindamage, I don't know
if other PCI device drivers do the proper thing and set devices to D3 when
unloaded).

Anyway, I am worried that we would get dangling pointers when, for example,
modular ehci-hcd or uhci-hcd are removed on thinkpads (where they are linked to
a power resource), since they do NOT power down the device on removal... so,
the power resource still keeps the reference to the now rmmod'ed ehci-hcd
device.

Right now we don't trigger this because power resources for already-at-D0
devices were just plain not being registered in the first place.
