[RFC PATCH 0/3] PCI: Add PCIe Gen 7 (128 GT/s) speed support

[Ionut Nechita (Sunlight Linux)]

From: Ionut Nechita <ionut_n2001@xxxxxxxxx>

This RFC series adds initial kernel support for PCIe Gen 7 128 GT/s
link speed, following the same pattern used for Gen 6 (64 GT/s).

PCIe Gen 7 doubles the per-lane data rate to 128 GT/s using PAM4
signaling with mandatory Flit mode encoding (1:1, no overhead),
providing up to 256 GB/s unidirectional (512 GB/s bi-directional)
bandwidth on an x16 link. The specification was announced by PCI-SIG
in 2022 and targeted for member release in 2025.

The series covers:

  Patch 1: UAPI register definitions (LNKCAP, LNKCAP2, LNKCTL2) and
           pci_bus_speed enum. Widens supported_speeds from u8 to u16
           to accommodate the expanded Supported Link Speeds Vector.

  Patch 2: Core PCI infrastructure - speed detection macros, bandwidth
           calculation with 1:1 Flit mode encoding, link speed table,
           display string, and a pcie_speed_requires_flit() helper
           with Flit mode diagnostic warning for Gen 6+ speeds.

  Patch 3: Subsystem updates for bandwidth control (bwctrl), port
           driver, and PCIe thermal cooling.

Not included in this series (not yet defined in the specification):
  - Equalization presets for 128 GT/s (PCI_EXT_CAP_ID_PL_128GT)
  - DesignWare controller preset programming for Gen 7

This is marked as RFC since no PCIe Gen 7 hardware exists yet to
validate the implementation. The register encoding values (LNKCAP
SLS=0x7, LNKCAP2 SLS bit 6, LNKCTL2 TLS=0x7) follow the sequential
pattern established by prior generations and are subject to change
when the final specification is published.

Tested: compile-tested only (no hardware available).
