If the ports aren't visible to BIOS, I assume BIOS doesn't configure
*anything*, including LTR.  This sentence seems like it has a little
too much information; if BIOS doesn't see the ports, LTR, SoC power
management, etc., is not relevant.

"Currently affected products" makes me wonder about the *other*
products?  Seems like we should handle *all* VMD devices the same way.

I guess the cover letter has a little more background on this,
although I don't understand how talking to the Intel BIOS team can
solve this for *all* vendors using these parts.

What switch are you referring to?  What is the hotplug scenario?  Are
VMD ports hot-pluggable?  I assumed they were built into the Root
Complex and not hot-pluggable.

s/PCIE/PCIe/ several times above so they're all consistent.

s/pci_enable_default_link_state/pci_enable_default_link_state()/ so it
looks like a function.

That's a big block of text; maybe could be 2-3 paragraphs.

The fact that you have to hard-code the LTR values in the driver seems
problematic because it requires updates for every new device.  I guess
you have to update the driver anyway to add Device IDs.

But surely there should be a firmware interface to discover this
platform-specific information?  Does the _DSM for Latency Tolerance
Reporting (PCI Firmware spec r3.3, sec 4.6.6) supply this? 

We badly need generic support for that _DSM, but the documentation is
somewhat lacking.
