Some devices have problems with Transaction Layer Packets with the Relaxed
Ordering Attribute set.  This patch set adds a new PCIe Device Flag,
PCI_DEV_FLAGS_NO_RELAXED_ORDERING, a set of PCI Quirks to catch some known
devices with Relaxed Ordering issues, and a use of this new flag by the
cxgb4 driver to avoid using Relaxed Ordering with problematic Root Complex
Ports.

It's been years since I've submitted kernel.org patches, I appolgise for the
almost certain submission errors.

Which tree should merge this?  The PCI tree or my networking tree?

Hi David?

I think networking tree merge it is a better choice, as it mainly used to tell the NIC
drivers how to use the Relaxed Ordering Attribute, and later we need send patch to enable
RO for ixgbe driver base on this patch. But I am not sure whether Bjorn has some of his own
view. :)

Hi Bjorn:

Could you help review this patch or give some feedback ?

Thanks
Ding
