Shaohua Li 7d715a6c1a PCI: add PCI Express ASPM support
PCI Express ASPM defines a protocol for PCI Express components in the D0
state to reduce Link power by placing their Links into a low power state
and instructing the other end of the Link to do likewise. This
capability allows hardware-autonomous, dynamic Link power reduction
beyond what is achievable by software-only controlled power management.
However, The device should be configured by software appropriately.
Enabling ASPM will save power, but will introduce device latency.

This patch adds ASPM support in Linux. It introduces a global policy for
ASPM, a sysfs file /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy can control
it. The interface can be used as a boot option too. Currently we have
below setting:
        -default, BIOS default setting
        -powersave, highest power saving mode, enable all available ASPM
state and clock power management
        -performance, highest performance, disable ASPM and clock power
management
By default, the 'default' policy is used currently.

In my test, power difference between powersave mode and performance mode
is about 1.3w in a system with 3 PCIE links.

Note: some devices might not work well with aspm, either because chipset
issue or device issue. The patch provide API (pci_disable_link_state),
driver can disable ASPM for specific device.

config PCIEPORTBUS
bool "PCI Express support"

help
This automatically enables PCI Express Port Bus support. Users can
choose Native Hot-Plug support, Advanced Error Reporting support,
Power Management Event support and Virtual Channel support to run
on PCI Express Ports (Root or Switch).

Say Y here if you have a motherboard that supports PCI Express Native
Hotplug
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
module will be called pciehp.
When in doubt, say N.

This enables PCI Express ASPM (Active State Power Management) and
Clock Power Management. ASPM supports state L0/L0s/L1.
When in doubt, say N.
config PCIEASPM_DEBUG

default n
help
This enables PCI Express ASPM debug support. It will add per-device
interface to control ASPM.
