If this is the case, I think we need split the patch into 2 commits:

- 1 commit to update the PCI library to program MPS and MRRS. This can
be generic though.
- 1 commit to update the gen4 PCIe driver for the workaround

BTW: the default MPS and MRRS should be 128B per the PCIe spec. I am
wondering why the gen4 PCIe RC does not follow the spec.

Bin
