Actually vendor eventually responded that the bit was reserved, but
during my tests it remains to 0.

So yes I am masking this out mainly for belt-and-braces and legibility.

Before PCI_EXP_DEVCTL and PCI_EXP_LNKCTL were doing the same thing, but
as now PCI_EXP_LNKCTL does extra things (i.e. wait for link to
successfully retrain), they do have different behaviours.

So this is here so PCI_EXP_DEVCTL keeps its old behaviour and do not
wait for link retrain in case an unrelated (PCI_EXP_LNKCTL_RL) bit is
set.
