[PATCH 0/4] ACPI: kill acpi_pci_root_start

[Yinghai Lu]

Now acpi_pci_root_driver has two ops: .add and .start, aka acpi_pci_root_add
and acpi_pci_root_start.

That is for hotplug handling: .add need to return early to make sure all
acpi device could be created and added early. So .start could device_add
pci device that are found in acpi_pci_root_add/pci_acpi_scan_root().

That is holding pci devics to be out of devices for while.

We could use bus notifier to handle hotplug case.
	CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled always now.
Need to add drivers_autoprobe bit in acpi_device to hold attaching drivers
for acpi_devices, so could make sure all acpi_devices get created at first.
Then acpi_bus_attach() that is called from acpi_bus_add will attach driver
for all acpi_devices that are just created.

That make the logic more simple: hotplug path handling just like booting path
that drivers are attached after all acpi device get created.

At last we could remove all acpi_bus_start workaround.

Thanks

Yinghai
