pci: use pci=bfsort for HP DL385 G2, DL585 G2
HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI devices in the expected order. Matt sayeth: biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8 for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev helper. For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions. http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/Signed-off-by: Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andy Gospodarek <andy@greyhouse.net> Cc: mingo@elte.hu Cc: andy@greyhouse.net Cc: john.cagle@hp.com Cc: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
