[PATCH 0/3] Fix two PEIe hotplug issues

[Mark Lord <lkml@rtr.ca>]

Fix PCIe Hotplug so that it works with ExpressCard slots on Dell notebooks
(and others?) in conjunction with the modparam of pciehp_force=1.

The PCIe Hotplug driver has two issues when used on Dell notebooks
which lack ACPI BIOS support for PCIe hotplug:

1. The driver does not recognise cards that were inserted 
  prior to the driver being modprobe'd.

2. The driver stops functioning after a suspend/resume (RAM) cycle,
  and needs to be rmmod'd and modprobe'd to get it working again.

This patch series addresses those issues, resulting in a completely
functional PCIe Hotplug driver for Dell notebooks, and possibly others
as well which may lack ACPI BIOS support for this.
Note that pciehp_force=1 is (still) required.

There are three patches in this series:

	01_pciehp_handle_preinserted_card.patch
		-- fixes problem number 1 (above).

	02_pciehp_split_pcie_init.patch
		-- preparation for the resume patch.

	03_pciehp_resume_reinit_hardware.patch
		-- fixes problem number 2 (above).
