Merge branch 'linux-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jbarnes/pci-2.6
* 'linux-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jbarnes/pci-2.6: (88 commits) PCI: fix HT MSI mapping fix PCI: don't enable too much HT MSI mapping x86/PCI: make pci=lastbus=255 work when acpi is on PCI: save and restore PCIe 2.0 registers PCI: update fakephp for bus_id removal PCI: fix kernel oops on bridge removal PCI: fix conflict between SR-IOV and config space sizing powerpc/PCI: include pci.h in powerpc MSI implementation PCI Hotplug: schedule fakephp for feature removal PCI Hotplug: rename legacy_fakephp to fakephp PCI Hotplug: restore fakephp interface with complete reimplementation PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../rescan PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/devices/.../remove PCI: Introduce /sys/bus/pci/rescan PCI: Introduce pci_rescan_bus() PCI: do not enable bridges more than once PCI: do not initialize bridges more than once PCI: always scan child buses PCI: pci_scan_slot() returns newly found devices PCI: don't scan existing devices ... Fix trivial append-only conflict in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

+Date: February 2009
+Contact: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
+Description:
+ Writing a device ID to this file will remove an ID
+ that was dynamically added via the new_id sysfs entry.
+ The format for the device ID is:
+ VVVV DDDD SVVV SDDD CCCC MMMM. That is Vendor ID, Device
+ ID, Subsystem Vendor ID, Subsystem Device ID, Class,
+ and Class Mask. The Vendor ID and Device ID fields are
+ required, the rest are optional. After successfully
+ removing an ID, the driver will no longer support the
+ device. This is useful to ensure auto probing won't
+ match the driver to the device. For example:
+ # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/foo/remove_id
