Is this supposed to reflect the current state (if the link is carrying
data right now) or if it's possible for the link to carry data?

Hrm. This is getting kind of large, especially considering the volume
of data we're holding per node and link already in ASoC. On the other
hand we may over time be able to refactor some of the existing stuff
(especially the link management) to use this structure.
