[PATCH] pci: Allow hotplug service drivers to operate in polling mode

[Rajat Jain]

Today the PCIe port bus driver disables the Hot-plug service if the
port device does not have the capability to generate interrupts.
However, drivers may have a polling method that can be used in this
case. In case of pciehp, user must be able to use the "pciehp_poll_mode"
parameter to use polling method in such a case. Today it is not
possible.

This patch allows a hotplug service driver to decide whether or not
it would like to continue in absense of interrupts. Also, the current
hotplug service driver (pciehp) is changed to check that either IRQs are
supported, or polling mode is to be used.
