After two tests without any visible change in neither power consumption nor system stability: How do I identify computers where that patch _might_ change things? Does for example
ACPI _OSC control for PCIe not granted, disabling ASPM
indicate that box isn't worth any efforts? Does this patch void a "pcie_aspm=force" kernel parameter, should or even must that one be given?
And another question, what are "any problems" likely to be? Obvious things like crashes, or rather nasty things like slowly eating data on the disks?
I bet there are some documents around about that, so pointers will do. There's <Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt> and <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagementASPM> but these don't answer my questions.

Having said that, no appearent effect found on (DMI string from dmesg):
