Subject: [PATCH] pcie hotplug: Change link order of pciehp

Some hardware exposes PCIE slots in such a way that they can be claimed by
either the acpiphp or pciehp driver. pciehp is the preferred driver if the
firmware allows the OS to claim control via the _OSC method so should be
loaded first - if it fails to bind (either due to a missing _OSC method or
the firmware refusing to hand off control) then we can fall back to acpiphp or
a vendor-specific driver.

This patch simply changes the link order to ensure that pciehp will be
initialised before acpiphp if both are statically built into the kernel.
