PCI: Add "pci=disable_acs_redir=" parameter for peer-to-peer support
To support peer-to-peer traffic on a segment of the PCI hierarchy, we must disable the ACS redirect bits for select PCI bridges. The bridges must be selected before the devices are discovered by the kernel and the IOMMU groups created. Therefore, add a kernel command line parameter to specify devices which must have their ACS bits disabled. The new parameter takes a list of devices separated by a semicolon. Each device specified will have its ACS redirect bits disabled. This is similar to the existing 'resource_alignment' parameter. The ACS Request P2P Request Redirect, P2P Completion Redirect and P2P Egress Control bits are disabled, which is sufficient to always allow passing P2P traffic uninterrupted. The bits are set after the kernel (optionally) enables the ACS bits itself. It is also done regardless of whether the kernel or platform firmware sets the bits. If the user tries to disable the ACS redirect for a device without the ACS capability, print a warning to dmesg.
