That's independent. What I mean is replace the whitelist with auto-
detected ASPM support and blacklist just the ones that are where
ASPM is completely unusable.
Retrieving the info about ASPM support may need a smll PCI core
extension. We need something similar to pcie_aspm_enabled(),
just exposing link->aspm_support. link->aspm_enabled may change
at runtime (sysfs link attributes).
