1) I dislike having this VMD-specific special case in the generic
code.

2) I think the "BIOS can't program ASPM ..." message is a little bit
misleading.  We're making the assumption that BIOS doesn't know about
devices below the VMD bridge, but we really don't know that.  BIOS
*could* have a VMD driver, and it could configure ASPM below the VMD.
We're just assuming that it doesn't.

It's also a little bit too verbose -- I think we get this message for
*every* device below VMD?  Maybe the vmd driver could print something
about ignoring the ACPI FADT "PCIe ASPM Controls" bit once per VMD?
Then it's clearly connected to something firmware folks know about.

3) The code ends up looking like this:

  if (aspm_disabled) {
    if (aspm_support_enabled && pdev->aspm_os_control)
      pci_info(pdev, "BIOS can't program ASPM, let OS control it\n");
    else {
      pci_warn(pdev, "can't override BIOS ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control\n");
      return -EPERM;
    }
  }

and I think it's confusing to check "aspm_support_enabled" and
"pdev->aspm_os_control" after we've already decided that ASPM is
sort of disabled by "aspm_disabled".

Plus, we're left with questions about all the *other* tests of
"aspm_disabled" in pcie_aspm_sanity_check(),
pcie_aspm_pm_state_change(), pcie_aspm_powersave_config_link(),
__pci_disable_link_state(), etc.  Why do they *not* need this change?

And what about pcie_aspm_init_link_state()?  Why doesn't *it* pay
attention to "aspm_disabled"?  It's all very complicated.

This is similar in some ways to native_aer, native_pme, etc., which we
negotiate with _OSC.  I wonder if we could make something similar for
this, since it's another case where we want to make something specific
to a host bridge instead of global.

Comment is wrong (but I hope we can avoid a per-device bit anyway).
