Dan Williams 969c255511 platform: relax rom scanning alignment for ahci platforms
The PCI-3.0 Firmware specification allows for option-roms to have
512-byte alignment rather than 2048-byte.  As there does not appear to
be a reliable method to detect a PCI-3.0 compliant BIOS from userspace
we allow the imsm platform detection code to presume that a system
modern enough to have an Intel AHCI controller does not have
dangerous/legacy ISA regions in the option-ROM memory space.

An environment variable to disable this behaviour, IMSM_SAFE_OROM_SCAN,
is added in case this presumption is ever proven wrong.

Dan Williams 39795f9cda port arch/x86/kernel/probe_roms_32.c for use in 'platform' support
This provides at least a kernel bug compatible method of scanning for an
adapter-rom.
