Hi all,

after having added non-MII PHY card support to e100, I noticed that
the suspend handler rejects power-management non-capable PCI cards,
causing a S2R request to immediately get back up to the desktop,
losing network access in the process (rtnl mutex deadlock).

ChangeLog:
Support PCI cards which are lacking power management capability
in the e100 suspend handler.


Frankly I was unsure how to best add this to the driver in a clean way.
Usually drivers use pci_set_power_state(..., pci_choose_state(...))
in order to avoid the rejection of an open-coded
pci_set_power_state(..., PCI_D3hot) in case of a non-PM card,
however pci_choose_state() depends on the _pm-internal_ pm_message_t type,
which was doable in .suspend directly but not at the other e100
driver locations where it was used.

Next attempt was to extend __e100_power_off() with a pci_power_t parameter,
however since __e100_power_off() is called by two locations,
that meant that I'd have to use pci_choose_state() at _both_ call sites.

Thus I simply resorted to do a brute-force yet most simple
pci_find_capability() check in the __e100_power_off() function.


Tested on 2.6.30-rc8 and suspending/resuming fine, checkpatch.pl:ed.
Patch against 2.6.30-rc8 with my original non-MII support patch applied.
(should apply fine in any case, I'd think).
Intended for testing in -mmotm or so.

Thanks!
