We assume only the MST device caps matter. Which is fine if the source
device caps are equal or higher. But if the source device isn't as
capable then we're going to calculate the MST things based on link bw
we can not actually achieve. End result is that we potentially try to
push too much data over the link.

I'm not really sure what actually happens if we just miscompute these
things but don't actually oversubscribe the link. Maybe the remote
end gets confused when we tell it some bogus VC parameters? Maybe it
doesn't care? Dunno.
