H A Dcommon.c8f8ae1a7 Wed Oct 17 11:04:35 CDT 2007 Michal Schmidt <mschmidt@redhat.com> x86: pci use pci=bfsort for HP DL385 G2 and DL585 G2

HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI
devices in the expected order.

Matt sayeth:

biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.

For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.
