Fix PCIe Hotplug so that it works with ExpressCard slots on Dell notebooks

To make things simpler for distro people, I'm contemplating another patch
in this series, to allow something like: pciehp_force=2
This would then *try* the ACPI BIOS calls, and only fall back to pcie_force=1
if the BIOS support fails. This would be an ideal default for most desktop/notebook
distros to consider using.
Without this, they don't have any good choice: use the defaults, and things fail
on the most popular brand of machines in the marketplace. Use pciehp_force=1,
and they may break (?) on other brands.
So a hybrid of the two seems best. Pity it couldn't be the default behaviour, though.
Or could it? We're early enough in the 2.6.24 cycle for it..
Opinions?
