Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down
in prepapration to kexec a kernel. Add code in PCI subsystem to use
this flag to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of
kexec reboot. This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63861
and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on PCI
devices in normal shutdown path. This patch is based on discussion at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=138425645204355&w=2

Scratches head.

Given that most devices already call pci_disable_device which clears the
bus master bit how does this change anything meaningful?

Is is the problem here that most drivers are lazy and have a noop
shutdown method?

Yes, that is exactly the problem.
