In terms of "wall clock" time:
For bare-metal it reduced from 270ms to 261ms
And for VM it reduced from 201ms to 184ms.

0x40 is the start address of capability list. This code is copied from function __pci_find_next_cap_ttl

Capability start address is 4 byte aligned. This code is also copied from __pci_find_next_cap_ttl.

Yes, this is not really required. But again, this code is copied from __pci_find_next_cap_ttl.

__pci_find_next_cap() is used to find a given capability,
It can't be used to walk through the list in this case.
