Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters

Document PCIE BUS MPS parameters pcie_bus_tune_off, pcie_bus_safe,
pcie_bus_peer2peer, pcie_bus_perf into Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
These parameters were introduced by Jon Mason <mason@...i.com> at
commit 5f39e6705 and commit b03e7495a8. Document these into 
kernel-parameters.txt help users to understand and use the parameters.
