ASPM was a dark magic when I first started looking at it. Some of it
is still dark but what I was able to understand with the help of
colleagues at work I've managed to stash here for now:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/ASPM
Then enabling ASPM was also quite a challenge and I always had to go
back and revisit the procedures, so to help with that instead I wrote
a script to do this for you correctly:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/aspm/enable-aspm
Its sha1sum is: f5804fdab512065f219e55addf78c6654f1fc045
If any of that looks confusing refer to the documentation above.
There's a TODO there, so I'll get to the different items when I can
but if you like feel free to send me patches as well:
TODO: patches are welcomed to me until we submit to to
PCI Utilities upstream.
This can be improved by in this order:
* Accept arguments for endpoint and root complex address, and
desired ASPM settings
* Look for your ASPM capabilities by quering your
LnkCap register first. Use these values to let you
select whether you want to enable only L1 or L1 & L0s
* Searching for your root complex for you
* Search for your PCI device by using the driver
* Disable your driver and ask to reboot ?
* Rewrite in C
* Write ncurses interface [ wishlist ]
* Write GTK/QT interface [ wishlist ]
* Submit upstream as aspm.c to the PCI Utilities, which are
maintained by Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>

Come to think of it, would this be welcomed upstream in the PCI utils
as is for now?

New version that'll work with new setpci.
