PCI / PCIe: Introduce command line option to disable ARI
There are PCIe devices on the market that report ARI support but
then fail to initialize correctly when ARI is actually used. This
leads to situations in which kernels 2.6.34 and newer fail to handle
systems where the previous kernels worked without any apparent
problems. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown how many such
devices are there.
For this reason, introduce a new kernel command line option,
pci=noari, allowing users to disable PCIe ARI altogether if they
see problems with PCIe device initialization.
