Do we have a root cause on why things don't get woken up? This seems
like an issue where something isn't getting reset after the first
wakeup and so future ones are blocked.

Doesn't this enable this too broadly. I know there are a number of
devices that run under the e1000e and I would imagine that we don't
want them all running with "pme_poll = true" do we?

It seems like at a minimum we should only be setting this for specific
platofrms or devices instead of on all of them.

Also this seems like something we should be setting on the suspend side
since it seems to be clared in the wakeup calls.

Lastly I am not sure the first one is necessarily succeding. You might
want to check the status of pme_poll before you run your first test.

pci_pm_init. If so it might be getting cleared after the first wakeup
which is what causes your issues.

I assume this is the original workaround that was put in to address
this issue. Perhaps you should add a Fixes tag to this to identify
which workaround this patch is meant to be replacing.
