Maybe, I didn't think of it that way. I thought if a user saw the
capabilities in the kernel message, she could reasonably expect what
the pciehp driver is going to do, even though the driver masked off
that behavior.

'lspci' would still show the hardware capabilities if that's okay for
a user. Had I my way, the hardware wouldn't advertise this capability
at all.
