PCI: Workaround for Intel MPS errata
Intel 5000 and 5100 series memory controllers have a known issue if read completion coalescing is enabled and the PCI-E Maximum Payload Size is set to 256B. To work around this issue, disable read completion coalescing in the memory controller and root complexes. Unfortunately, it must always be disabled, even if no 256B MPS devices are present, due to the possibility of one being hotplugged.
