Several users of the VPD API use a fixed-size buffer and read the VPD into it for further usage. This requires special handling for the case that the buffer isn't big enough to hold the full VPD data. Also the buffer is often allocated on the stack, which isn't too nice. Add pci_vpd_alloc() to dynamically allocate buffer of the correct size and read VPD into it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
