Subject: Regression - Xorg start failed

Hi

With kernel built from current linus's tree, I can not start xorg,
it failed with:

Backtrace:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

The graphic driver I used is intel (i915)

Finally I bisected it, results:

    pci: use security_capable() when checking capablities during config space read
    
    Eric Paris noted that commit de139a3 ("pci: check caps from sysfs file
    open to read device dependent config space") caused the capability check
    to bypass security modules and potentially auditing.  Rectify this by
    calling security_capable() when checking the open file's capabilities
    for config space reads.
