I actually don't like the one-way nature of this. When the hierarchy
supports 10-bit tags, we automatically enable them during enumeration.

Then we provide this sysfs file, but it can only *disable* 10-bit
tags. There's no way to re-enable them except by rebooting (or using
setpci, I guess).

Why can't we allow *enabling* them here if they're supported in this
hierarchy?
