How so?  The algorithm seems pretty simple and logical.

Actually, I believe Bjorn rejected the idea of a fixed list because this
problem is detectable.  He also doesn't want me messing with quirks to
pci_is_pcie() in PCI because he wants a 1:1 relation between that and
having a PCIe capability.  So, I'm stuck and this is where it's ended
up.  Thanks,

Alex
