IIRC, under DevCap they indicated MaxPayload 4096 bytes, and under
DevCtl they indicated MaxPayload 128 bytes and MaxReadReq 4096 bytes,
and was the same on both the Asus and SuperMicro systems.  I will
doublecheck tomorrow at work.  I am not clear on the meanings of
the different parameters.  And is DevCtl for PCI control messages
and DevCap for actual data transfers or something else?
