Sigh, I made the classic mistake of asking more than one question, and
I guess I'm about to do it again :)  It'll save time if you can answer
all the questions at once.

Linux enables PCI_EXP_RTCTL_CRSSVE if PCI_EXP_RTCAP says it is
supported (see pci_enable_crs()).

  - What does PCI_EXP_RTCAP say?

  - Is PCI_EXP_RTCTL_CRSSVE writable?

With all the CRS-related work going on, I suspect we may someday want to
read PCI_EXP_RTCTL_CRSSVE to see if CRS SV is enabled.
