Reduce the PCI Express hotplug driver's dependence on ACPI.
We don't walk the acpi namespace anymore to build a list of
bridges and devices. We go to ACPI only to run the _OSC or
_OSHP methods to transition control of hotplug hardware from
system BIOS to the hotplug driver, and to run the _HPP
method to get hotplug device parameters like cache line size,
latency timer and SERR/PERR enable from BIOS.
Note that one of the side effects of this patch is that pciehp
does not automatically enable the hot-added device or its DMA
bus mastering capability now. It expects the device driver to
do that. This may break some drivers and we will have to fix
them as they are reported.

Here is the updated patch to get pciehp driver to work for downstream
port of a switch and handle the difference in the offset value of PCI
Express capability list item of different ports.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
