[    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).
