If we are to use sysfs to change ASPM settings, we may want to override
the default ASPM policy.

So use ASPM capability, instead of default policy, to be able to use all
possible ASPM states.

I like the idea, because the policy can be changed by the user anyway.
Therefore I don't see it as a hard system limit.

However I think this change is not sufficient. Each call to
pcie_config_aspm_link(link, policy_to_aspm_state(link)), e.g. in path
pcie_aspm_pm_state_change -> pcie_config_aspm_path will reset the
enabled states to the policy.

That's right, let me work this in v2.
