In the current ASPM implementation, callers of pcie_set_clock_pm() check
Clock PM capability of the link or current Clock PM state of the link.
This check should be done in pcie_set_clock_pm() itself.
This patch moves those checks into pcie_set_clock_pm(). It also
introduces pcie_set_clkpm_nocheck() that is equivalent to old
pcie_set_clock_pm(), for the caller who wants to change Clocl PM state
regardless of the Clock PM capability or current Clock PM state. In
addition, this patch changes the function name from
pcie_set_clock_pm() to pcie_set_clkpm() for consistency.

In the current ASPM implementation, there are many functions that
take a pointer to struct pci_dev corresponding to the upstream component
of the link as a parameter. But, since those functions handle PCI
express link state, a pointer to struct pcie_link_state is more
suitable than a pointer to struct pci_dev. Changing a parameter to a
pointer to struct pcie_link_state makes ASPM code much simpler and
easier to read. This patch also contains some minor cleanups. This patch
doesn't have any functional change.

There is no way to interact with a physical PCI slot without
sysfs, so encode the dependency and prevent this build error:
drivers/pci/slot.c: In function 'pci_hp_create_module_link':
drivers/pci/slot.c:327: error: 'module_kset' undeclared
This patch _should_ make pci-sysfs.o depend on CONFIG_SYSFS too,
but we cannot (yet) because the PCI core merrily assumes the
existence of sysfs:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_bus_add_device':
drivers/pci/bus.c:89: undefined reference to `pci_create_sysfs_dev_files'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_stop_dev':
drivers/pci/remove.c:24: undefined reference to `pci_remove_sysfs_dev_files'
So do the minimal bit for now and figure out how to untangle it
later.

If a PCI device is not power-manageable either by the platform, or
with the help of the native PCI PM interface, pci_target_state() will
return either PCI_D3hot, or PCI_POWER_ERROR for it, depending on
whether or not the device is configured to wake up the system. Alas,
none of these return values is correct, because each of them causes
pci_prepare_to_sleep() to return error code, although it should
complete successfully in such a case.
Fix this problem by making pci_target_state() always return PCI_D0
for devices that cannot be power managed.

3) replace mdelay() with msleep().

software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE
errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which
can be gotten from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/

registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

When a root port receives the same errors more than once before the
kernel process them, the Multiple Error Messages Received flags are set
by hardware. Because the root port could only save one kind of
correctable error source id and another uncorrectable error source id at
the same time, the second message sender id is lost if the 2 messages
are sent from 2 different devices. This patch makes the kernel search
all devices under the root port when multiple messages are received.

Based on PCI Express AER specs, a root port might receive multiple
TLP errors while it could only save a correctable error source id
and an uncorrectable error source id at the same time. In addition,
some root port hardware might be unable to provide a correct source
id, i.e., the source id, or the bus id part of the source id provided
by root port might be equal to 0.
The patchset implements the support in kernel by searching the device
tree under the root port.
Patch 1 changes parameter cb of function pci_walk_bus to return a value.
When cb return non-zero, pci_walk_bus stops more searching on the
device tree.

Create symbolic link to hotplug driver module in the PCI slot
directory (/sys/bus/pci/slots/<SLOT#>). In the past, we need to load
hotplug drivers one by one to identify the hotplug driver that handles
the slot, and it was very inconvenient especially for trouble shooting.
With this change, we can easily identify the hotplug driver.

The EMI support in pciehp is obviously broken. It is implemented using
struct hotplug_slot_attribute, but sysfs_ops for pci_slot_ktype is NOT
for struct hotplug_slot_attribute, but for struct pci_slot_attribute.
This bug had been there for a long time, maybe it was introduced when
PCI slot framework was introduced. The reason why this bug didn't
cause any problem is maybe the EMI support is not tested at all
because of lack of test environment.
As described above, the EMI support in pciehp seems not to be tested
at all. So this patch removes EMI support from pciehp, instead of
fixing the bug.

Some BIOSes hide 'overflow' device (dev #6) for i82875P/PE chipsets.
The same happens for i82865P/PE. Add a quirk to enable this device.
This allows i82875 EDAC driver to bind to chipset's dev #6 and not
dev #0 as the latter is used by AGP driver.
On my laptop (i82865P based) ACPI code is disabling this device
again in \_SB.PCI0._CRS method (called at least at PNP init time).
This can be easily worked around by patching DSDT.

Adds support for PCI Express transaction layer end-to-end CRC checking
(ECRC). This patch will enable/disable ECRC checking by setting/clearing
the ECRC Check Enable and/or ECRC Generation Enable bits for devices that
support ECRC.
The ECRC setting is controlled by the "pci=ecrc=<policy>" command-line
option. If this option is not set or is set to 'bios", the enable and
generation bits are left in whatever state that firmware/BIOS set them to.
The "off" setting turns them off, and the "on" option turns them on (if the
device supports it).
Turning ECRC on or off can be a data integrity versus performance
tradeoff. In theory, turning it on will catch more data errors, turning
it off means possibly better performance since CRC does not need to be
calculated by the PCIe hardware and packet sizes are reduced.
