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.

Is there a problem report URL you can include here?

It looks like this requires a user to figure out that he might be
suffering from this problem, then use this module parameter to work
around it.  How would a user figure that out?  Can we do it
automatically to save him the trouble?
