Comparing David's "pci=earlydump" logs from [2,3] I see these
differences:

- BIOS 1.12
+ BIOS 1.14
00:1d.0 Root Port to [bus 04]
- Status: INTx-
+ Status: INTx+
- DevSta: CorrErr+
+ DevSta: CorrErr-
- LnkCtl: CommClk+ AutWidDis+ BWInt- AutBWInt+
+ LnkCtl: CommClk- AutWidDis- BWInt+ AutBWInt-
04:00.0 NVMe SSD
- LnkCtl: CommClk+ ClockPM-
+ LnkCtl: CommClk- ClockPM+

It looks like BIOS 1.14 leaves the BWInt bit (Link Bandwidth
Management Interrupt Enable) *set*, while BIOS 1.12 left it cleared.

Joey's log [4] with BIOS 1.14 also shows BWInt set:

+ BIOS 1.14
00:1d.0 Root Port to [bus 04]
+ Status: INTx+
+ DevSta: CorrErr-
+ LnkCtl: CommClk- AutWidDis- BWInt+ AutBWInt-
04:00.0 NVMe SSD
+ LnkCtl: CommClk- ClockPM-

In my opinion this is a BIOS defect. The BIOS should not leave an
interrupt enabled unless it is prepared to handle the interrupt.

But Linux should be able to tolerate this. Maybe we could clear
PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_LBMIE and PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_LABIE somewhere like
pci_configure_device().

Maybe we should also clear other PCIe interrupt enables like
PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_CCIE, PCI_EXP_SLTCTL_HPIE, PCI_EXP_RTCTL_PMEIE.
They should be enabled after installing an interrupt handler for them.
