We want to report that the kernel supports ASPM to the BIOS even if
the BIOS signals us that it doesn't.  So, we need the flags to include
(OSC_ACTIVE_STATE_PWR_SUPPORT | OSC_CLOCK_PWR_CAPABILITY_SUPPORT)
before calling acpi_pci_osc_support(root, flags) in
acpi_pci_root_add() (unless there's a command line telling us that
ASPM is not to be supported).

However, knowing that the BIOS doesn't support ASPM, we shouldn't
request the control of it, so we should remove
(OSC_ACTIVE_STATE_PWR_SUPPORT | OSC_CLOCK_PWR_CAPABILITY_SUPPORT)
from the flags before calling acpi_pci_osc_control_set() in those
cases.  Failing to do so causes the evaluation of _OSC for the PCI
root bridge to return error codes on some systems where it should
work correctly.

-stable material, I think.

Thanks,
Rafael

Is there an example of an affected machine's DSDT?

Len, since you've applied recent patches in this area, can you take
care of this, too?

No, please don't.

I'd discussed that with Matthew and we concluded that it would break things
sometimes.  Please disregard it (and sorry for not saying that earlier).

Thanks,
Rafael
