Bjorn Helgaas 02bfeb4842 PCI/portdrv: Simplify PCIe feature permission checking
Some PCIe features (AER, DPC, hotplug, PME) can be managed by either the
platform firmware or the OS, so the host bridge driver may have to request
permission from the platform before using them.  On ACPI systems, this is
done by negotiate_os_control() in acpi_pci_root_add().

The PCIe port driver later uses pcie_port_platform_notify() and
pcie_port_acpi_setup() to figure out whether it can use these features.
But all we need is a single bit for each service, so these interfaces are
needlessly complicated.

Simplify this by adding bits in the struct pci_host_bridge to show when the
OS has permission to use each feature:

  + unsigned int native_aer:1;       /* OS may use PCIe AER */
  + unsigned int native_hotplug:1;   /* OS may use PCIe hotplug */
  + unsigned int native_pme:1;       /* OS may use PCIe PME */

These are set when we create a host bridge, and the host bridge driver can
clear the bits corresponding to any feature the platform doesn't want us to
use.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
