Latest I can find is the March 31, 2011 PASID ECN, which just lists that
bit as reserved.

I can drop it if need be, was just trying to do some cleanup on the
consistency of pci_reg.h before adding a bunch more defines to help
bounds checking and parsing for vfio-pci.  Unless my spec is outdated,
it seems like there's more than an aesthetic change here though, so
resolving the conflicts with your latest work might be warranted.
