    PCI: Disable Relaxed Ordering for some Intel processors · 87e09cde

    According to the Intel spec section 3.9.1 said:
    
        3.9.1 Optimizing PCIe Performance for Accesses Toward Coherent Memory
              and Toward MMIO Regions (P2P)
    
        In order to maximize performance for PCIe devices in the processors
        listed in Table 3-6 below, the soft- ware should determine whether the
        accesses are toward coherent memory (system memory) or toward MMIO
        regions (P2P access to other devices). If the access is toward MMIO
        region, then software can command HW to set the RO bit in the TLP
        header, as this would allow hardware to achieve maximum throughput for
        these types of accesses. For accesses toward coherent memory, software
        can command HW to clear the RO bit in the TLP header (no RO), as this
        would allow hardware to achieve maximum throughput for these types of
        accesses.
    
        Table 3-6. Intel Processor CPU RP Device IDs for Processors Optimizing
                   PCIe Performance
    
        Processor                            CPU RP Device IDs
    
        Intel Xeon processors based on       6F01H-6F0EH
        Broadwell microarchitecture
    
        Intel Xeon processors based on       2F01H-2F0EH
        Haswell microarchitecture
    
    It means some Intel processors has performance issue when use the Relaxed
    Ordering Attribute, so disable Relaxed Ordering for these root port.
