Hi Eric,

I guess it would be useful to see "lspci -vv" output with a "good" kernel
and with that bad patch applied. Most likely we should see some difference
somewhere in the MaxPayload fields in the PCI Express capability of
some device.

Either the RAID controller or something else lies, and puts a value
in the DevCap that it can't actually support, or else the patch is
buggy and puts something out of range in a DevCtl somewhere.
