x86/PCI: Add kernel cmdline options to use/ignore E820 reserved regions
Some firmware supplies PCI host bridge _CRS that includes address space unusable by PCI devices, e.g., space occupied by host bridge registers or used by hidden PCI devices. To avoid this unusable space, Linux currently excludes E820 reserved regions from _CRS windows; see 4dc2287c ("x86: avoid E820 regions when allocating address space"). However, this use of E820 reserved regions to clip things out of _CRS is not supported by ACPI, UEFI, or PCI Firmware specs, and some systems have E820 reserved regions that cover the entire memory window from _CRS. 4dc2287c clips the entire window, leaving no space for hot-added or uninitialized PCI devices. For example, from a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL 81WE: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x4bc50000-0xcfffffff] reserved pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x65400000-0xbfffffff window] pci 0000:00:15.0: BAR 0: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff 64bit] pci 0000:00:15.0: BAR 0: no space for [mem size 0x00001000 64bit] Future patches will add quirks to enable/disable E820 clipping automatically. Add a "pci=no_e820" kernel command line option to disable clipping with E820 reserved regions. Also add a matching "pci=use_e820" option to enable clipping with E820 reserved regions if that has been disabled by default by further patches in this patch-set. Both options taint the kernel because they are intended for debugging and workaround purposes until a quirk can set them automatically.
