OK.  I'll send them to you privately as replies to this mail.

The first patch (which needs a little tightening up) adds support for
accessing and printing all 4k of configuration space with the -xxx option.

The second patch (incomplete) adds support for the Express capability.
There's some stuff it doesn't decode yet.  I'll be updating this patch
on Monday, I expect.

The third patch (even more incomplete) adds infrastructure for walking
and decoding extended capabilities.
