I'm not able to cite the PCI PM specs by heart :) ... but looks OK to me.

Yes, but not before we're sure we can wake them up correctly. Probably
also needs to handle wakeup of PCI-to-PCI bridges.

I'd rather prefer to avoid this. It brings nothing except for possible
problems.
Have a nice fortnight
