Dear PowerTOP folks,

looking at the output of PowerTOP (version 1.97) on every system I
looked at »Runtime PM for PCI Device …« is marked as bad.

I know that I can enable it by hitting return in PowerTOP or by
executing the following command [1].

    echo auto > /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power/control

But I wonder why this is not enabled by default? What userspace program
would be responsible to enable this? I cannot imagine that users should
write scripts or edit start up files to enable this. A Linux kernel
option to turn this on globally would be nice to have. Does that exist?



Thanks,

Paul
