There's a significant number of reports that re-enabling ASPM causes
different issues, ranging from decreased performance to system not
booting at all. This affects only a minority of users, but the number
of affected users is big enough that we better switch off ASPM again.
This will hurt notebook users who are not affected by the issues, they
may see decreased battery runtime w/o ASPM. With the PCI core folks is
being discussed to add generic sysfs attributes to control ASPM.
Once this is in place brave enough users can re-enable ASPM on their
system.
