The PCIe lanes information seems to be read from the card itself (at least that's for RV515), look here:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.39/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/r300.c#L553
While 1 is understandable (PCIe x1), 0 value is confusing and I can't tell if that'x x16 or not. Maybe one of the driver authorsa can provide some input.

I've failed to locate any docs that contain information on the registers exposed on the PCI.
