Hardware Autonomous Width Disable (HAWD)
When set, this bit disables hardware from changing the Link width 
for reasons other than attempting to correct unreliable Link 
operation by reducing Link width. 
Devices that do not implement the ability autonomously to change 
Link width are permitted to hardwire this bit to 0b.

Extended Synch (ES)
0 = Standard Fast Training Sequence (FTS).
1 = Forces the transmission of additional ordered sets when 
exiting the L0s state and when in the Recovery state.
This mode provides external devices (such as, logic analyzers) 
monitoring the Link time to achieve bit and symbol lock before the 
link enters L0 and resumes communication.
This is a test mode only and may cause other undesired side 
effects such as buffer overflows or underruns.

Retrain Link (RL)
0 = Normal operation. 
1 = Full Link retraining is initiated by directing the Physical Layer 
TXTSSM from L0, L0s, or L1 states to the Recovery state. 
This bit always returns 0 when read. This bit is cleared 
automatically (no need to write a 0).
