It means 'turn off sanity checking for pci bridges when it comes to
resources passing through the bridges.'  It was an ugly hack which was
taken out behind the woodshed and shot.  The problem was that there
are a number of host bridges, which do pass the entire address space
through that didn't mark themselves as negatively decoding bridges.
You need to set it if you have one of the bridges that is like.
