Such behaviour would be irrelevant for system sleep/wake - the only 
requirement is in runtime power management.

The other important aspect of this is that a single GPE may correspond 
to multiple devices. The methods will generally cope with this by either 
sending multiple notifies, executing some SMM code to identify the 
relevant device or reading PCI configuration registers to identify the 
source of the wakeup. We need to handle that case as well.
