PCI: Update "pci=resource_alignment" documentation Some uio based PCI drivers, e.g., uio_cif, do not work if the assigned PCI memory resources are not page aligned. By using the kernel option "pci=resource_alignment=<align>@<bus>:<slot>.<func>" it is possible to request page alignment for memory resources of devices. However, this is cumbersome when using several devices, and the bus/slot/func addresses may change if devices are added to or removed from the system. Extend the "pci=resource_alignment" option so we can specify the relevant devices via PCI vendor, device, subvendor, and subdevice IDs. The specification of the devices via IDs is indicated by a leading string "pci:" as argument to "pci=resource_alignment". The format of the specification is pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>] Examples: pci=resource_alignment=4096@pci:8086:9c22:103c:198f pci=resource_alignment=pci:8086:9c22 # defaults to PAGE_SIZE align [bhelgaas: changelog, use actual vendor/device IDs in examples] Signed-off-by: Mathias Koehrer <mathias.koehrer@etas.com> Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
