v0->v1: Update MPS parameters as non-arch and add MRRS
                description into pcie_bus_perf parameter suggested
                by Andrew Murray.
v1->v2: Update some semantic problems and add MPS and MRRS
                explanation suggested by Joe Lawrence and Randy Dunlap.

Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters pcie_bus_tune_off, pcie_bus_safe,
pcie_bus_peer2peer, pcie_bus_perf into Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
These parameters were introduced by Jon Mason <ma...@myri.com> at
commit 5f39e6705 and commit b03e7495a8.
