It should disable ASPM on pre-1.1 PCIe devices, since apparently many of them 
get ASPM wrong, resulting in bus hangs.  There's a file in sysfs to control 
things:
/sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
(see the description in 7d715a6c1ae5785d00fb9a876b5abdfc43abc44b for info).

With the patch applied hopefully it indicates that things are disabled.

Thanks for testing.
