While you are making the other recommended fixes, could
you add/create a pci_obff_supported() function, like the pci_ltr_supported()
function, and more importantly, add it to the pci_disable_obff() function?
The latter does not check that DEVCAP2 is supported, and thus, could be
writing to non-existent (potentially private) cap space (i.e., a V1 CAP device,
which do exist in the marketplace).

The [enable,disable]_ltr functions do a good job of doing pci_ltr_supported()
checks, but the obff enable,disable functions should have similar calls.
