Wrap to fill 75 columns.

Add blank lines between paragraphs.

Use complete sentences ("Since there is ..." is not a sentence).

Capitalize consistently ("Root ports" vs "root ports").

Use register names I can find in the spec or with grep
("ROOT_ERR_COMMAND" and "ROOT_ERR_STATUS" do not appear in the
source).

s/MSIX/MSI-X/ to match spec usage.

Also applies to code comment below.

Needs to include your (Daniel's) Signed-off-by; see:

Sec 7.8.4 talks about Root Ports and Root Complex Event Collectors
together, so I would think you would treat them the same here.
