Right. I'd believe that there's some underlying bug that's causing the
missing PMEs and maybe it does work in theory, but the reality is that
right now some PCIe devices are not getting their PMEs delivered to us.
We don't know if it's our bug or a hardware bug, and until we do we need
to leave the polling code.
