The current pciehp implementation reports a power-fail error
even if the condition has cleared by the time the corresponding
interrupt handling code gets a chance to run. This patch
fixes this problem.

This patch further tweaks how we request control of hotplug
controller hardware from BIOS. We first search the ACPI namespace
corresponding to a specific hotplug controller looking for an
_OSC or OSHP method. On failure, we successively move to the
ACPI parent object, till we hit the highest level host bridge
in the hierarchy. This allows for different types of BIOS's
which place the _OSC/OSHP methods at various places in the acpi
namespace, while still not encroaching on the namespace of
some other root level host bridge.
This patch also introduces a new load time option (pciehp_force)
that allows us to bypass all _OSC/OSHP checking. Not supporting
these methods seems to be be the most common ACPI firmware problem
we've run into. This will still _not_ allow the pciehp driver to
work correctly if the BIOS really doesn't support pciehp (i.e. if
it doesn't generate a hotplug interrupt). Use this option with
caution. Some BIOS's may deliberately not build any _OSC/OSHP
methods to make sure it retains control the hotplug hardware.
Using the pciehp_force parameter for such systems can lead to
two separate entities trying to control the same hardware.

Reduce the number of debug messages generated if pciehp debug is
enabled. I tried to restrict this to removing debug messages that
are either early-driver-debug type messages, or print information
that can be inferred through other debug prints.

Reduce the PCI Express hotplug driver's dependence on ACPI.
We don't walk the acpi namespace anymore to build a list of
bridges and devices. We go to ACPI only to run the _OSC or
_OSHP methods to transition control of hotplug hardware from
system BIOS to the hotplug driver, and to run the _HPP
method to get hotplug device parameters like cache line size,
latency timer and SERR/PERR enable from BIOS.
Note that one of the side effects of this patch is that pciehp
does not automatically enable the hot-added device or its DMA
bus mastering capability now. It expects the device driver to
do that. This may break some drivers and we will have to fix
them as they are reported.

Here is the updated patch to get pciehp driver to work for downstream
port of a switch and handle the difference in the offset value of PCI
Express capability list item of different ports.

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!
