On some servers the BIOS sets up ACS on any valid pci_dev in the
system. The kernel has no way of backing this out since the kernel
only turns ACS capabilities on.

This patch adds a new boot option to the pci kernel parameter called
"acs_disable" that will disable ACS. This is useful for PCI peer to
peer communication but can cause problems when IOVA isolation is
required and an IOMMU is enabled. Use with care.

Eww.  Can we please add smbios quirks for the systems where you've
observed this? (we probably also want to keep the option just in case).

Thanks for the feedback Christoph. My sentiments exactly ;-).

I can look at doing this. The issue with this approach is that it will require a kernel patch for each new system that is detected.

Agreed. At least then operators have a path to ACS disable prior to a quirk being accepted.
