This patch adds an attribute named "remove" to a PCI device's sysfs
directory. Writing a non-zero value to this attribute will remove the PCI
device and any children of it.
Trent Piepho wrote the original implementation and documentation.
Thanks to Vegard Nossum for testing under kmemcheck and finding locking
issues with the sysfs interface.

This interface allows the user to force a rescan of all PCI buses
in system, and rediscover devices that have been removed earlier.

This adds a remove_id sysfs entry to allow users of new_id to later
remove the added dynid. One use case is management tools that want to
dynamically bind/unbind devices to pci-stub driver while devices are
assigned to KVM guests. Rather than having to track which driver was
originally bound to the driver, a mangement tool can simply:
Guest uses device

Add sysfs ABI docs for driver entries bind, unbind and new_id. These
entries are pretty old, from 2.6.0 onwards AFAIK, so this documents
current behaviour.

Vital Product Data (VPD) may be exposed by PCI devices in several
ways. It is generally unsafe to read this information through the
existing interfaces to user-land because of stateful interfaces.
This adds:
- abstract operations for VPD access (struct pci_vpd_ops)
- VPD state information in struct pci_dev (struct pci_vpd)
- an implementation of the VPD access method specified in PCI 2.2
(in access.c)
- a 'vpd' binary file in sysfs directories for PCI devices with VPD
operations defined
It adds a probe for PCI 2.2 VPD in pci_scan_device() and release of
VPD state in pci_release_dev().
