Bjorn Helgaas 1e447c57ae PCI/portdrv: Remove "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter
7570a333d8 ("PCI: Add pcie_hp=nomsi to disable MSI/MSI-X for pciehp
driver") added the "pcie_hp=nomsi" kernel parameter to work around this
error on shutdown:

  irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
  Pid: 1081, comm: reboot Not tainted 3.2.0 #1
  ...
  Disabling IRQ #16

This happened on an unspecified system (possibly involving the Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. Device 807f bridge) where "an un-wanted interrupt
is generated when PCI driver switches from MSI/MSI-X to INTx while shutting
down the device."

The implication was that the device was buggy, but it is normal for a
device to use INTx after MSI/MSI-X have been disabled.  The only problem
was that the driver was still attached and it wasn't prepared for INTx
interrupts.  Prarit Bhargava fixed this issue with fda78d7a0e ("PCI/MSI:
Stop disabling MSI/MSI-X in pci_device_shutdown()").

There is no automated way to set this parameter, so it's not very useful
for distributions or end users.  It's really only useful for debugging, and
we have "pci=nomsi" for that purpose.

Revert 7570a333d8 to remove the "pcie_hp=nomsi" parameter.

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.
