PCI hotplug: Always allow acpiphp to handle non-PCIe bridges
Commit 0d52f54e2ef64c189dedc332e680b2eb4a34590a (PCI / ACPI: Make
acpiphp ignore root bridges using PCIe native hotplug) added code
that made the acpiphp driver completely ignore PCIe root complexes
for which the kernel had been granted control of the native PCIe
hotplug feature by the BIOS through _OSC. Unfortunately, however,
this was a mistake, because on some systems there were PCI bridges
supporting PCI (non-PCIe) hotplug under such root complexes and
those bridges should have been handled by acpiphp.
For this reason, revert the changes made by the commit mentioned
above and make register_slot() in drivers/pci/hotplug/acpiphp_glue.c
avoid registering hotplug slots for PCIe ports that belong to
root complexes with native PCIe hotplug enabled (which means that
the BIOS has granted the kernel control of this feature for the
given root complex). This is reported to address the original
issue fixed by commit 0d52f54e2ef64c189dedc332e680b2eb4a34590a and
to work on the system where that commit broke things.
