Running 'make oldconfig' I just noticed that PCIEASPM defaults to
'y' in Kconfig even though the feature is both experimental and the
help text recommends that if you are unsure you say 'n'.
It seems to me that this really should default to 'n', not 'y' at the
moment.
The following patch makes that change. Please consider applying.

PCI Express ASPM defines a protocol for PCI Express components in the D0
state to reduce Link power by placing their Links into a low power state
and instructing the other end of the Link to do likewise. This
capability allows hardware-autonomous, dynamic Link power reduction
beyond what is achievable by software-only controlled power management.
However, The device should be configured by software appropriately.
Enabling ASPM will save power, but will introduce device latency.
This patch adds ASPM support in Linux. It introduces a global policy for
ASPM, a sysfs file /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy can control
it. The interface can be used as a boot option too. Currently we have
below setting:
-default, BIOS default setting
-powersave, highest power saving mode, enable all available ASPM
state and clock power management
-performance, highest performance, disable ASPM and clock power
management
By default, the 'default' policy is used currently.
In my test, power difference between powersave mode and performance mode
is about 1.3w in a system with 3 PCIE links.
Note: some devices might not work well with aspm, either because chipset
issue or device issue. The patch provide API (pci_disable_link_state),
driver can disable ASPM for specific device.

This reverts commit 6c723d5bd89f03fc3ef627d50f89ade054d2ee3b.
It caused build errors on non-x86 platforms, config file confusion, and
even some boot errors on some x86-64 boxes. All around, not quite ready
for prime-time :(

Remove unnecessary CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE_EVENT_MODE.
The CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE_POLL_EVENT_MODE option is not needed
because polling mechanism can be enabled through 'pciehp_poll_mode'
module option.
