[PATCH] PCI crash with pciless box or pci=off workaround on Vaio's
From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Reasoning - Earlier in boot if we find a PCI bus we set raw_pci_ops to the function table to use for PCI accesses. - When we enter this function we now check if we have such a method - If not then we know it will otherwise crash because the call sequence through the code goes pci_irq_init pirq_peer_trick pci_scan_bus_parented which always leads down into the device scan and a pci config access via raw_pci_ops The moment the scan searches for a device it has to crash as it has no access methods. - The other case which does nothing but pci_fixup_irqs is a no-op with no PCI devices - THUS any situation that is changed by the raw_pci_ops check was previously an oops case anyway or did nothing anyway. Tested with pci=off and without
