I had already started looking at v4, so these comments are based on
that.  Your v4 is a great start and these are all general comments so
I didn't try to match each one up with the code.

  - Goal: retain BIOS ASPM config of bridge even if children are
    removed and re-added.  Is there a bugzilla for this problem?

  - pci_aspm_init(): Fix function comment.  Called for every device we
    enumerate.  Maybe split body into pci_aspm_init_upstream() (the
    has_secondary_link part) and pci_aspm_init_downstream() (or maybe
    these end up being similar enough that splitting doesn't make
    sense).  I don't think we should need locking in either case
    because this is a new device we're in the process of enumerating.

    - Upstream link partner:  Shouldn't need to check pdev->link_state
      (should always be NULL for a brand-new device).  Should allocate
      link_state and capture everything that doesn't depend on the
      downstream link partner, i.e., all DEVCAP & LNKCAP info (this
      includes the initial BIOS config you're after).

    - Downstream link partner: (devices where dev->has_secondary_link
      is not set).  Capture device-specific state, i.e., DEVCAP &
      LNKCAP info, exit latencies and latency requirements.  The
      sanity check/blacklist stuff only depends on the downstream link
      partner and maybe could be computed and saved here, e.g., in a
      new pdev->aspm_blacklist or pdev->link->blacklist.  

      Probably should not *write* to any hardware configuration, e.g.,
      common clock configuration, because some of that depends on all
      siblings, and we haven't enumerated them all yet.  The hardware
      configuration should probably be done in
      pcie_aspm_init_link_state().

  - pcie_aspm_init_link_state(): Called for bridges (upstream end of
    link) after all children have been enumerated.  No longer needs to
    check aspm_support_enabled or pdev->has_secondary_link or the VIA
    quirk: pci_aspm_init() already checked that stuff, so we only need
    to check pdev->link_state here.  Probably should do the common
    clock config here instead of in pci_aspm_init().

  - pcie_aspm_configure_common_clock(): I don't think you touched
    this, but this might be a good opportunity to move the re-read
    (pcie_get_aspm_reg() stuff) into this function so it doesn't
    clutter the caller?  Could be a preliminary cleanup patch.

    PCI_EXP_LNKSTA_SLC is HwInit, which means it's read-only and could
    be captured at pci_aspm_init()-time.  Currently we only look at
    SLC for the first child, but pci_aspm_init_upstream() could set a
    link->downstream_slc bit, and pci_aspm_init_downstream() could
    clear it if it found a device with SLC not set.
