I think this is because I have a really old lspci. Here's the -xxx output:

LnkCtl2 is at offset 0x30 in the PCIe capability, which starts at 0x40,
so LnkCtl2 = 0x0043. I think that means Target Link Speed is 0x3, or
"Supported Link Speeds Vector field bit 2". The Supported Link Speeds
Vector in LnkCap2 (which isn't decoded even by current upstream lspci)
is 0x7, so 2.5GT/s, 5.0GT/s, and 8.0GT/s are all supported, with bit 2
being 8.0GT/s. So I think a modern lspci would show "8.0GT/s".

I don't know whether it's functional; I haven't tried to use it yet.
I typically don't even load the mlx4 driver, so most of the failures I'm
seeing are when the driver isn't loaded. User-space code is doing config
reads via /sys.

My fault, lspci actually showed a meaningful serial number; I removed
it in a misguided attempt to avoid exposing anything proprietary.

I've seen this on at least two Mellanox cards. I'm running similar tests
on a different type of card now.
