Hi all,
To me, the most natural place for the link-related information such as
ASPM state would be inside struct pci_bus.
I actually did already take a look into migrating ASPM data there but the
way pcie_link_state is currently looked up through pci_dev (from both
ends of the link) seemed to make the conversion somewhat messy so I
postponed creating the patch for the migration.
But it's certainly a change I'd like to see if somebody wants to look into
it.
