Subject: [PATCH] sky2: override for PCI legacy power management

Some BIOS's don't setup power management correctly (what else is
new) and don't allow use of PCI Express power control. Add a special
exception module parameter to allow working around this issue.
Based on slightly different patch by Knut Petersen.
