Subject: [ 05/52] xen/pci: dont use PCI BIOS service for configuration space accesses

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>

commit 76a8df7b49168509df02461f83fab117a4a86e08 upstream.

The accessing PCI configuration space with the PCI BIOS32 service does
not work in PV guests.

On systems without MMCONFIG or where the BIOS hasn't marked the
MMCONFIG region as reserved in the e820 map, the BIOS service is
probed (even though direct access is preferred) and this hangs.
