Huang Ying c465def6bf PCI AER: software error injection
Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard
to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a
software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE
errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which
can be gotten from:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/

The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related
registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

Zhang, Yanmin 28eb27cf08 PCI AER: support invalid error source IDs
When the bus id part of error source id is equal to 0 or nosourceid=1,
make the kernel probe the AER status registers of all devices under the
root port to find the initial error reporter.

Michael Ellerman fafad5bf06 PCI MSI: Add example request loop to MSI-HOWTO.txt
Encourage driver writers to think about supporting a variable number
of MSI-X interrupts, and give an example of how to do such a
request.

Matthew Wilcox 1c8d7b0a56 PCI MSI: Add support for multiple MSI
Add the new API pci_enable_msi_block() to allow drivers to
request multiple MSI and reimplement pci_enable_msi in terms of
pci_enable_msi_block.  Ensure that the architecture back ends don't
have to know about multiple MSI.

Ben Hutchings 6a479079c0 PCI: Add pci_clear_master() as opposite of pci_set_master()
During an online device reset it may be useful to disable bus-mastering.
pci_disable_device() does that, and far more besides, so is not suitable
for an online reset.

Add pci_clear_master() which does just this.

Yu Zhao 270c66be9b PCI: fix AER capability check
The 'use pci_find_ext_capability everywhere' cleanup brought a new bug,
which makes the AER stop working.  Fix it by actually using find_ext_cap
instead of just find_cap.  Drop the unused config space size define while
we're at it.

Jean Delvare b41d6cf38e PCI: Check dynids driver_data value for validity
Only accept dynids whose driver_data value matches one of the driver's
pci_driver_id entries. This prevents the user from accidentally passing
values the drivers do not expect.
