Neither, actually.  It means "should this device, which is capable of
both PCI and PCIe operation, operate as PCIe in this context".  It's
only expected to be called by devices which support both modes of
operation.

I have yet to think of a succinct name which conveys that :(.

Hmm.. that would mean changing *every* existing PCIe device to call
this, which I don't think I want to do.

Also it's _not* really saying if a device can operate as PCIe.  AIUI,
a device _can_ operate as PCIe on a root bus (without a port) although
it's unusual.  Integrated PCIe devices would do so, IIUC.  For that
matter I believe current devices which only support PCIe mode will
also operate in PCIe mode on a root bus right now; but doing so
without inserting a root port might make guests unhappy, at least on
PC.
