L1 latency calculation is not good enough, it assumes that *any*
link is the highest latency link - which is incorrect.

The latency to bring L1 up is number-of-hops*1000 +
maximum-latency-along-the-path

currently it's only doing number-of-hops*1000 +
arbitrary-latency-of-current-link

They are all included in all lspci output in the bug

So there are a few issues here, the current code does not apply to spec.

The intel nic gets fixed as a side effect (it should still get a
proper fix) of making
the code apply to spec.

Basically, while hunting for the issue, I found that the L1 and L0s
latency calculations used to determine
if they should be enabled or not is wrong - that is what I'm currently
trying to push - it also seems like the
intel nic claims that it can handle 64us but apparently it can't.

So, three bugs, two are "fixed" one needs additional fixing.
