Yes, the assumption is that if the BIOS set up ASPM but FADT indicates 
it's unsupported, just trust that the BIOS did the right thing and don't 
interfere. It's been a long time, but when we were clearing the ASPM 
bits in response to this FADT setting, a bunch of machines suddenly 
started consuming a lot more power than when running Windows.
