The existing implementation of pci_block_user_cfg_access() was recently
criticised for providing out of date information and for returning errors
on write, which applications won't be expecting.
This reimplementation uses a global wait queue and a bit per device.
I've open-coded prepare_to_wait() / finish_wait() as I could optimise
it significantly by knowing that the pci_lock protected us at all points.
It looked a bit funny to be doing a spin_unlock_irqsave(); schedule(),
so I used spin_lock_irq() for the _user versions of pci_read_config and
pci_write_config. Not carrying a flags pointer around made the code
much less nasty.
Attempts to block an already blocked device hit a BUG() and attempts to
unblock an already unblocked device hit a WARN(). If we need to block
access to a device from userspace, it's because it's unsafe for even
another bit of the kernel to access the device. An attempt to block
a device for a second time means we're about to access the device to
perform some other operation, which could provoke undefined behaviour
from the device.

This patch contains the following cleanups:
- access.c should #include "pci.h" for getting the prototypes of it's
global functions
- hotplug/shpchp_pci.c: make the needlessly global function
program_fw_provided_values() static

Some PCI adapters (eg. ipr scsi adapters) have an exposure today in that they
issue BIST to the adapter to reset the card. If, during the time it takes to
complete BIST, userspace attempts to access PCI config space, the host bus
bridge will master abort the access since the ipr adapter does not respond on
the PCI bus for a brief period of time when running BIST. On PPC64 hardware,
this master abort results in the host PCI bridge isolating that PCI device
from the rest of the system, making the device unusable until Linux is
rebooted. This patch is an attempt to close that exposure by introducing some
blocking code in the PCI code. When blocked, writes will be humored and reads
will return the cached value. Ben Herrenschmidt has also mentioned that he
plans to use this in PPC power management.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
