This approach seems to be the best. The other one from Petr is
good as well, however I've not had time today to verify whether
this detection algorithm will work properly, as we have built pcie 1030
parts,
and its checking for pcix compatibilty at offset 0x68.

With regards to this patch, I need to contact the mpp folks to see
whether they are setting the REQ_FAILFAST attribute. I will
followup shortly.
