Various pieces of hardware (such as the Acer Aspire One and Asus EEE)
use PCIE hotplug to change the state of devices in response to events
such as the removal of SD cards or disabling the wireless radio.
However, they do not provide firmware support for this. As a consequence
pciehp will refuse to load and various things break.
The existing workaround has been to use the pciehp_force option. This is
undesirable as there is little guarantee that manipulating the power
file in the slot directory will actually result in anything happening,
leading to potential user confusion and hardware damage. This patch adds
a new option, pciehp_passive. In this configuration pciehp will listen
for events and notify the PCI core appropriately. However, it will not
provide any user controllable sysfs attributes and so the risk of
confusion or damage is averted. Any system slots that do have firmware
support will continue to provide full functionality.
