In 8.4.4, my copy of r6.0.1 (and same with r7.0) PCIe spec, I only have 
one table and that is called:

"Table 8-13 Lane Margining"

And no search finds "Report Margining Capabilities Payload" table anywhere.

...So I still fail to find it.

(AI has tendencity to come up non-existing things, I hope it's not the 
case here as it would be rather rude to waste reviewers time on chasing 
non-existing things.)

Since you ignored my previous inquiry, I'm asking again...

How exactly you intend to prevent the aspm driver from re-enabling ASPM 
while this driver wants it to remain off?

What about the other steps besides ASPM that the spec required to be
