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