Should this really be ACPI specific?  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.
