Subject: [PATCH] PCI / ACPI: Report _OSC control mask returned on failure to get control

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>

If an attempt to get _OSC control of the PCIe native features from
the BIOS fails, report the resulting mask of control flags the BIOS
was willing to grant in the error message.  Moreover, if the _OSC
support mask is insufficient for requesting control of the PCIe
native features or pcie_ports_disabled is set, print a diagnostic
message containing the _OSC support mask.  This helps to diagnose
obscure _OSC-related problems on a number machines.
