Current default VGA device selection fails in some cases because part of it
is done in the vga_arb_device_init() subsys_initcall, and some arches
enumerate PCI devices in pcibios_init(), which runs *after* that.
The big change from the v8 posting is that this moves vgaarb.c from
drivers/gpu/vga to drivers/pci because it really has nothing to do with
GPUs or DRM.
For example:
- On BMC system, the AST2500 bridge [1a03:1150] does not implement
PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA. This is perfectly legal but means the legacy VGA
resources won't reach downstream devices unless they're included in the
usual bridge windows.
- vga_arb_select_default_device() will set a device below such a bridge
as the default VGA device as long as it has PCI_COMMAND_IO and
PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY enabled.
- vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() is called for every VGA device, either at
boot-time or at hot-add time, and it will also set the device as the
default VGA device, but ONLY if all bridges leading to it implement
PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA.
- This difference between vga_arb_select_default_device() and
vga_arbiter_add_pci_device() means that a device below an AST2500 or
similar bridge can only be set as the default if it is enumerated
before vga_arb_device_init().
- On ACPI-based systems, PCI devices are enumerated by acpi_init(), which
runs before vga_arb_device_init().
- On non-ACPI systems, like on MIPS system, they are enumerated by
pcibios_init(), which typically runs *after* vga_arb_device_init().
This series consolidates all the default VGA device selection in
vga_arbiter_add_pci_device(), which is always called after enumerating a
PCI device.
Almost all the work here is Huacai's. I restructured it a little bit and
added a few trivial patches on top.
