Tal Gilboa b852f63aa6 PCI: Add pcie_bandwidth_capable() to compute max supported link bandwidth
Add pcie_bandwidth_capable() to compute the max link bandwidth supported by
a device, based on the max link speed and width, adjusted by the encoding
overhead.

The maximum bandwidth of the link is computed as:

  max_link_width * max_link_speed * (1 - encoding_overhead)

2.5 and 5.0 GT/s links use 8b/10b encoding, which reduces the raw bandwidth
available by 20%; 8.0 GT/s and faster links use 128b/130b encoding, which
reduces it by about 1.5%.

The result is in Mb/s, i.e., megabits/second, of raw bandwidth.

[bhelgaas: add 16 GT/s, adjust for pcie_get_speed_cap() and
pcie_get_width_cap() signatures, don't export outside drivers/pci]

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
