This patch set adds support for configuring the Maximum Payload Size (MPS) for attached PCI Express devices. Modifying the MPS can increase PCI Express performance or ensure compatibility with hot-plugged devices.
New config CONFIG_CMD_PCI_MPS. If enabled, a new "pci_mps" command will be added that accepts an argument describing a strategy to configure the PCI Express payload size for devices that are currently attached. Two strategies are currently supported:
"safe" emulates the Linux kernel's pci=pcie_bus_safe and sets all devices to the minimum MPS supported by all devices.
"peer2peer" sets all devices to an MPS of 128 bytes, the only size which must be supported by all compliant PCI Express devices, to ensure that all devices can directly communicate with each other and with devices that are hotplugged later.
A test for the sandbox environment is also added by advertising a larger supported Maximum Payload Size in the swapcase device and verifying that the pci_mps command can read and configure the MPS.
