If I had a specific fix in mind, I would just post it, but I've never
had time to work through it all.  What I mean by complicated is that
every time I have to look at ASPM, I have to start by trying to figure
out the relationships between these variables:

    aspm_policy                 # default 0 (POLICY_DEFAULT)
                                  or POLICY_PERFORMANCE
                                  or POLICY_POWERSAVE depending on config
    aspm_disabled               # default 0
    aspm_force                  # default 0
    aspm_support_enabled        # default true

plus the _OSC-related code in acpi_pci_root_add(), which honestly is a
rat's nest.

It sounds like Neil's fix (while probably correct) would tangle that
nest a little more.  But I guess it would make sense to see the actual
patch and the justification (a regression fix, I suppose, but the
details weren't clear to me) before deciding.
