It makes it possible to use the PCI serial cards after a S3 suspend/resume and as well to whitelist the BDF for kexec-ing. Changelog, since v1: - Added an extra patch to use 'pci' instead of 'magic' as trigger to auto-detect the PCI serial cards. - Allow to probe BAR1 and BAR0 depending on whether com2 or com1, respectively has been used. - Updated the doc/user.tex with the new syntax. - Fixed some formatting issues the patch from XCP had. History: The first one is actually from XCP product and I think I got the right author name for it - if not please correct me. The other three patches are rebased patches that I've received from VirtualComputer (www.virtualcomputer.com). They seem to find lot of issues on laptops/desktops and have been using PCI express serial cards, MiniPCI-e serial cards, etc to get the serial output to troubleshoot. And as such found some issues after a S3 resume which these patches fix. Please take a look.
