A quirk is appropriate if the hardware isn't working per spec.  I
don't think we have convincing evidence of that yet, so I'm more
interested in investigating that than I am in getting the device IDs
to add a quirk.

I suspect there's useful information to be had by disabling CONFIG_PM
and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE and poking things with setpci, which could
be done regardless of any NDAs.
