Currently the revision isn't available via sysfs/libudev thus if one wants
to know the value one needs to read through the config file, which can be
quite time-consuming because it wakes/powers up the device.
There are at least two userspace components which could make use the new
file: libpciaccess and libdrm. The former wakes up _every_ PCI device,
which can be observed via glxinfo when using Mesa 10.0+ drivers. The
latter, in association with Mesa 13.0, can lead to 2-3 second delays while
starting firefox, thunderbird or chromium.

PCI sysfs resource files currently only allow mmap'ing. On x86 this
works fine for memory backed BARs, but doesn't work at all for I/O
port backed BARs. Add read/write to I/O port PCI sysfs resource
files to allow userspace access to these device regions.

This patch adds an attribute named "remove" to a PCI device's sysfs
directory. Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will remove the PCI
device and any children of it.
Trent Piepho wrote the original implementation and documentation.
Thanks to Vegard Nossum for testing under kmemcheck and finding locking
issues with the sysfs interface.

This patch makes the ROM reading code return an error to user space if
the size of the ROM read is equal to 0.
The patch also emits a warnings if the contents of the ROM are invalid,
and documents the effects of the "enable" file on ROM reading.

For the ranges with IORESOURCE_PREFETCH, export a new resource_wc interface in
pci /sysfs along with resource (which is uncached).

idr gently pointed out today that not only is the sysfs rom file
interface somewhat unintuitive (despite my efforts and initial
implementation), but it's also undocumented! This patch to
Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt corrects the latter problem; the
former is a userland ABI now though, so we're stuck with it for awhile
at least.

The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:
- Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
- Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
- Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
- Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
- Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.
This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
