Again, I LOVE the way this is going.  I depise this extra linked list.

IIUC, in the existing code, link_list contains *every* pcie_link_state
in the system, so we update the configuration of all of them.

Here, iterating through pci_root_buses gives us all the root buses (in
the case of multiple host bridges), and on each root bus we look at
every device that has a link_state, so those would typically be Root
Ports.  But I don't think we descend the hierarchy, so in the case of
deeper hierarchies, I don't think we update the lower levels.

Example from my laptop:

  00:1d.6 Root Port                     to [bus 06-3e]
  06:00.0 Upstream Port   (switch A)    to [bus 07-3e]
  07:01.0 Downstream Port (switch A)    to [bus 09-3d]
  09:00.0 Upstream Port   (switch B)    to [bus 0a-3d]
  0a:04.0 Downstream Port (switch B)    to [bus 0c-3d]
  0c:00.0 Upstream Port   (switch C)    to [bus 0d-3d]
  0d:01.0 Downstream Port (switch C)    to [bus 0e]
  0e:00.0 Upstream Port   (Endpoint)    USB controller

Here there are four links:

  00:1d.6 --- 06:00.0
  07:01.0 --- 09:00.0
  0a:04.0 --- 0c:00.0
  0d:01.0 --- 0e:00.0

But I think this patch only looks at the 00:1d.6 --- 06:00.0 link,
doesn't it?
