On pseries there's a chance it will work for PCI error recovery, but if
so it's just lucky that firmware has left everything configured the same
way. For actual suspend/resume it will never work, we need to ask
firmware to configure things.

Yes I think so. That way we can properly reconfigure via the firmware
interface. The other option would be to design some new arch hook to do
resume, but just doing a disable/enable seems simpler to me.
