That looks extremely ugly to me. If you want to do something special
in resume function, just do it there. It will probably share a lot of
code with your init function, anyway.

How can you handle devices without driver? And how to save/restore
config space for special devices, such as LPC bridge and host bridge?

Say that writing the missing drivers is the only workable solution.
Does anybody have an estimate of how many there are and how big
a task that would be?
