Hm, perhaps it would be easier to merge this if it would use bit 6
instead of bit 4.  Then it would just be a trivial merge conflict
between two topic branches (pci/hotplug and pci/bwctrl, I presume).
The way it is now, it will require manually tweaking the bit after
applying the patch.

The two newly added bits on the pci/hotplug branch use the prefix
"PCI_LINK_".  It would be slightly neater if this used the same prefix.

Obviously a nice, welcome simplification, shaving off 37 LoC.
Thanks for doing this!
