PCI PM: Make it possible to force using INTx for PCIe PME signaling



Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power
management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling.  In
particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not
generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if
the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to
this port.  [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and
request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling
the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.]  However, if INTx
interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything
works just fine.

For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to
request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling,
introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need
this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this
table.
