PCI: Extending pci=resource_alignment to specify device/vendor IDs
Some uio-based PCI drivers, e.g., uio_cif do not work if the assigned PCI
memory resources are not page aligned.
By using the kernel option "pci=resource_alignment" it is possible to force
single PCI boards to use page alignment for their memory resources.
However, this is fairly cumbersome if several of these boards are in use
as the specification of the cards has to be done via PCI bus/slot/function
number which might change, e.g., by adding another board.
Extend the kernel option "pci=resource_alignment" to allow specification of
relevant devices via PCI device/vendor (and subdevice/subvendor) IDs. The
specification of the devices via device/vendor is indicated by a leading
string "pci:" as argument to "pci=resource_alignment". The format of the
specification is pci:<vendor>:<device>[:<subvendor>:<subdevice>]
