PCI: enable driver multi-threaded probe
This provides a build and run-time option to turn on multhreaded probe for all PCI drivers. It can cause bad problems on multi-processor machines that take a while to find their root disks, and play havoc on machines that don't use persistant device names for block or network devices. But it can cause speedups on some machines, my tiny laptop's boot goes up by 0.4 seconds, and my desktop boots up several seconds faster. Use at your own risk!!!
