There is a problem that some non hot-pluggable PCIe slots are detected as hot-pluggable by pciehp on some platforms. The immediate cause of this problem is that hot-plug capable bit in the Slot Capabilities register is set even for non hot-pluggable slots on those platforms. It seems a BIOS/hardware problem, but we need workaround about that. Some of those platforms define hot-pluggable PCIe slots on ACPI namespace properly, while hot-plug capable bit in the Slot Capabilities register is set improperly. So using ACPI namespace information in pciehp to detect PCIe hot-pluggable slots would be a workaround. This patch adds 'pciehp_detect_mode' module option. When 'acpi' is specified, pciehp uses ACPI namespace information to detect PCIe hot-pluggable slots.
