Why not add a method that pci bridges pass to their parent that will bubble up to the host-pci bridge's parent (acpi0, legacy0, etc.) that determines which sleep state should be used? This would let open firmware machines manage this stuff in their nexus0 for example if they wanted. It would be a pci bus method that the platform drivers would implement as well in that model, and wouldn't be ACPI specific. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
