increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems. The kernel
currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion
ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory
allocation failures seen on these systems. This occurs because the BIOS
either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the
expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for
expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned
P2P non-prefetch windows.
The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related
to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they
can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs.
This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request
consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR. We have
seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P
bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on
device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM
BAR on the P2P bridge. In all cases the allocation failure messages can
be very confusing for users.
This patch addresses the issue by changing the kernel default behavior
so that expansion ROM memory allocations are no longer attempted by
default when the BIOS has not assigned a specific address range to the
expansion ROM BAR. This was done by changing the 'pci=rom' boot option
behavior for BIOS unassigned expansion ROMs to actually match it's
current kernel-parameters.txt description which already implies "off" by
default. Behavior for BIOS assigned expansion ROMs implemented in
pcibios_assign_resources() [arch/x86/pci/i386.c] is unchanged.

HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI
devices in the expected order.
Matt sayeth:
biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.
For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

* fix bug in pci_read() and pci_write() which prevented PCI domain
support from working (hardcoded domain 0).
* unconditionally enable CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS
* implement pci_domain_nr() and pci_proc_domain(), as required of
all arches when CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS is enabled.
* store domain in struct pci_sysdata, as assigned by ACPI
* support "pci=nodomains"

Use _CRS for PCI resource allocation
This patch resolves an issue where incorrect PCI memory and i/o ranges
are being assigned to hotplugged PCI devices on some IBM systems. The
resource mis-allocation not only makes the PCI device unuseable but
often makes the entire system unuseable due to resulting machine checks.
The hotplug capable PCI slots on the affected systems are not located
under a standard P2P bridge but are instead located under PCI root
bridges or subtractive decode P2P bridges. For example, the IBM x3850
contains 2 hotplug capable PCI-X slots and 4 hotplug capable PCIe slots
with the PCI-X slots each located under a PCI root bridge and the PCIe
slots each located under a subtractive decode P2P bridge.
The current i386/x86_64 PCI resource allocation code does not use _CRS
returned resource information. No other resource information source is
available for slots that are not below a standard P2P bridge so
incorrect ranges are being allocated from e820 hole causing the bad
result.
This patch causes the kernel to use _CRS returned resource info. It is
roughly based on a change provided by Matthew Wilcox for the ia64 kernel
in 2005. Due to possible buggy BIOS factor and possible yet to be
discovered kernel issues the function is disabled by default and can be
enabled with pci=use_crs.
