    ACPI / scan: Introduce common code for ACPI-based device hotplug · a33ec399

    Multiple drivers handling hotplug-capable ACPI device nodes install
    notify handlers covering the same types of events in a very similar
    way.  Moreover, those handlers are installed in separate namespace
    walks, although that really should be done during namespace scans
    carried out by acpi_bus_scan().  This leads to substantial code
    duplication, unnecessary overhead and behavior that is hard to
    follow.
    
    For this reason, introduce common code in drivers/acpi/scan.c for
    handling hotplug-related notification and carrying out device
    insertion and eject operations in a generic fashion, such that it
    may be used by all of the relevant drivers in the future.  To cover
    the existing differences between those drivers introduce struct
    acpi_hotplug_profile for representing collections of hotplug
    settings associated with different ACPI scan handlers that can be
    used by the drivers to make the common code reflect their current
    behavior.
