Alas, it has no effect at all here; L0s and L1 claim to be being
disabled at boot time, but if you ask with lspci you see that they are
not. I strongly suspect that they *are* being disabled, but then get
re-enabled by something else, because even if I force them off with
setpci in the boot scripts, by the time the scripts have finished
executing and I've got to a root prompt where I can run setpci, L0s and
L1 are always back on again.

I may try simply running setpci between every line of my boot scripts
just to see if it's something I'm doing there, but I very much doubt it,
since I see these symptoms even if I run setpci at a point in the boot
scripts after all the network interface setup is over.

I suspect it's more to do with the link stabilizing or something. (But
this is purest guesswork.)

Note in particular that L0s and L1 are still listed as enabled.

(So I forced them off with setpci again, by hand.)
