Well, 3072 bytes and a minimum size of 4 bytes, so 768.  However, a
capability ID of 0000 or FFFF means no capabilities (PCIe 2.01 sec
7.9.1-2), so we should terminate the search on finding one of those
capability ID.

[Also note: bits 21:20 are reserved and need to be masked, per PCIe 2.01
7.9.3.]

The spec seems to imply that capabilities should be sequential, but I
really don't know if that is actually the case in the field.
