[PATCH 4/4] perf/x86/intel/uncore: Enable forced mmconfig for Intel uncore

[Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

On Intel systems some uncore counters are located in PCI config space.
On 4S systems with many uncore events being sampled at a high frequency
we can see significant overhead from the type 1 accesses: both
from the IO port accesses and also from lock contention on the locks
protection the IO port.

This patch uses the pci_bus_force_mmconfig() interface earlier
to force lockless MMCONFIG for the bus the uncore devices are
residing on, which significantly lowers overhead. These
busses only contain Intel on chip devices which support mmconfig.
