Maybe this is better solved by copying the way it was done in PCI itself
with capability linked list?

There are any number of ways to lay out the structure.  I went for what
seemed a simplest one.  For MSI-X the train has left the station.  We
can probably still tweak where the high 32 bit features
for 64 bit features are.  No idea if it's worth it.

Sorry, this has been in the back of my mind.  I think it's a good idea;
can we use the capability linked list for pre-device specific stuff from
now on?

Thanks,
Rusty.
