[ 4.013326] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM
ClockPM Segments MSI]
[ 4.015860] acpi PNP0A08:00: _OSC: OS now controls [PCIeHotplug PME
AER PCIeCapability]

So at a glance, it would appear that pciehp *should* be claiming it,
right? Something I noted in the bug I filed is that the device ID
reported there is PNP0A08, and the root_device_id table that associates
with acpi_pci_root_add() only includes PNP0A03 in it. Is that correct,
or should 08 also be in there, which might remedy this? (I can test this
out easily enough).
