The VMD-related parts of this commit log belong in the next patch,
because this patch has nothing in particular to do with VMD.

The module parameter ("policy") has global effect: it runs
pcie_aspm_set_policy(), which assigns the global "aspm_policy" and
then reconfigures all links in the system.

This is not that; it's a link-based thing that doesn't change
"aspm_policy" and only affects a single link.  This is more like
aspm_attr_store_common() for the sysfs "l0s_aspm" and similar
attributes, or the pci_disable_link_state() interface for drivers.

This is essentially the inverse of pci_disable_link_state().  Why not
name it so the connection is obvious?  Probably also make the
signature ("int state") similar.
