Hi Myron,

The patch tests eliminates the reported crash when hotplugging our 
problem PCI bus.

The additional checks removed from pcie_aspm_exit_link_state (ie, the 
simplification) do appear to be unnecessary as pcie_aspm_init_link_state 
is already preventing such devices from allocating link state.  

Thanks,
