PCI: Provide Kconfig option for lockless config space accessors The generic PCI configuration space accessors are globally serialized via pci_lock. On larger systems this causes massive lock contention when the configuration space has to be accessed frequently. One such access pattern is the Intel Uncore performance counter unit. Provide a kernel config option which can be selected by an architecture when the low level PCI configuration space accessors in the architecture use their own serialization or can operate completely lockless.
