Subject: [Update][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 can help users to understand and use the parameters.

 				This sorting is done to get a device

 		nobfsort	Don't sort PCI devices into breadth-first order.
+		pcie_bus_tune_off	Disable PCI-E MPS turning and using

+		pcie_bus_safe	Use the smallest common denominator MPS
+				of the entire tree below a root complex for every device
+				on that fabric. Can avoid inconsistent mps problem caused
+				by hotplug.
+		pcie_bus_perf	Configure pcie device MPS to the largest allowable
+				MPS based on its parent bus. And also set MRRS to the
+				largest supported value but cannot be configured larger
+				than the MPS the device or the bus can support for Max
+				performance.
+		pcie_bus_peer2peer	Make the system wide MPS the smallest
+				possible value (128B).This configuration could prevent it

 		cbiosize=nn[KMG]	The fixed amount of bus space which is
 				reserved for the CardBus bridge's IO window.
 				The default value is 256 bytes.
