Sorry for the delay, I've been out of the office for a while.

Indeed pciback was intended to be more of a filter than a driver.  For
the time being it seems reasonable to implement BAR-related PM functions
in pciback as you've done (many thanks for that).  As time permits I'll
double-check that your solution makes the fix in the most appropriate
location.
