So apparently this machine got broken when we changed the behavior for
the ACPI ASPM-not-supported bit from forcing ASPM off for everything to
leaving ASPM in whatever state the BIOS left it in. And apparently for
some reason the device (devices?) doesn't work with ASPM enabled in
Linux but does in Windows. It's possible that some other workaround is
being applied by the Windows driver that allows it to work there.

I'm not too sure what the next step to debug that would be, unless maybe
someone has a contact at Broadcom. We could conceivably add a quirk to
force ASPM off for this device regardless of what the BIOS says, though.
