This isn't right, is it?  The Link Status Current Link Speed field is
a four-bit field that's encoded.  The currently defined values are 1-7
(not 1, 2, 4, 8).  So I think you would want to add this instead:

#define  PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_CLS_8_0GB 0x03 /* Current Link Speed 8.0GT/s */

That corresponds to bit 2 in the Supported Link Speeds Vector in the
Link Capabilities 2 register:

#define  PCI_EXP_LNKCAP2_SLS_8_0GB 0x04 /* Supported Link Speed 8.0GT/s */

This whole mess looks like potential off-by-one errors everywhere, and
I could be mistaken about this :)

While you're here, can you fix the typo ("Nogotiated") in the line below?
