To make things simpler for distro people, I'm contemplating another patch
in this series, to allow something like: pciehp_force=2
This would then *try* the ACPI BIOS calls, and only fall back to pcie_force=1
if the BIOS support fails. This would be an ideal default for most desktop/notebook
distros to consider using.
Without this, they don't have any good choice: use the defaults, and things fail
on the most popular brand of machines in the marketplace. Use pciehp_force=1,
and they may break (?) on other brands.
So a hybrid of the two seems best. Pity it couldn't be the default behaviour, though.
Or could it? We're early enough in the 2.6.24 cycle for it..
Opinions?
