Yes, it's x16/x8.

I'm not sure how much of the lspci output can be believed since it was
produced using a Phoenix BIOS on the board (since I don't have a
LinuxBIOS config that will boot yet). Also, I don't believe I can
perform the experiment you request since I don't have control of the
BIOS that was used to capture the lspci output.
