PCI: remove unused HAVE_ARCH_PCI_SET_DMA_MAX_SEGMENT_{SIZE|BOUNDARY}
PCI: disable mmio during bar sizing
PCI: MSI: Remove unsafe and unnecessary hardware access
PCI: Default PCIe ASPM control to on and require !EMBEDDED to disable
PCI: kernel oops on access to pci proc file while hot-removal
PCI: pci-sysfs: remove casts from void*
ACPI: Disable ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe
PCI hotplug: make sure child bridges are enabled at hotplug time
PCI hotplug: shpchp: Removed check for hotplug of display devices
PCI hotplug: pciehp: Fixed return value sign for pciehp_unconfigure_device
