0e7df22401 PCI: Add sysfs sriov_drivers_autoprobe to control VF driver binding
Sometimes it is not desirable to bind SR-IOV VFs to drivers.  This can save
host side resource usage by VF instances that will be assigned to VMs.

Add a new PCI sysfs interface "sriov_drivers_autoprobe" to control that
from the PF.  To modify it, echo 0/n/N (disable probe) or 1/y/Y (enable
probe) to:

  /sys/bus/pci/devices/<DOMAIN:BUS:DEVICE.FUNCTION>/sriov_drivers_autoprobe

Note that this must be done before enabling VFs.  The change will not take
effect if VFs are already enabled.  Simply, one can disable VFs by setting
sriov_numvfs to 0, choose whether to probe or not, and then re-enable the
VFs by restoring sriov_numvfs.

46cb7b1bd8 PCI: Remove unused SR-IOV VF Migration support
This reverts commit 74bb1bcc7d ("PCI: handle SR-IOV Virtual Function
Migration"), removing this exported interface:

  pci_sriov_migration()

Since pci_sriov_migration() is unused, it is impossible to schedule
sriov_migration_task() or use any of the other migration infrastructure.

This is based on Stephen Hemminger's patch (see link below), but goes a bit
further.

63a29f744f Documentation: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from the kernel documentation.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.
