For sure, in S4 mode the devices are powered down totally.

Yes, it is absolutely necessary even. (For the reason stated above)

In general, that would of course be better. However, I don't know if the
PCI layer (in this case) always knows enough.
On the other side, if the device itself has to do some special things, the
PCI layer could at least do the generic stuff.
(Warner, will this also be covered by the stuff you are doing?)
