This may need to be done on a chip by chip basis. Take a look at 
http://www.atheros.cz/inffile.php?inf=68&bit=32&atheros=AR5002G&system=4 
and some of the other inf files on that site to see which devices 
provide the PciASPMOptIn flag - those should support ASPM states even if 
they're pre-1.1 devices.
