spapr: Eliminate DRC 'signalled' state variable
The 'signalled' field in the DRC appears to be entirely a torturous workaround for the fact that PCI devices were started in UNISOLATED state for unclear reasons. 1) 'signalled' is already meaningless for logical (so far, all non PCI) DRCs. It's always set to true (at least at any point it might be tested), and can't be assigned any real meaning due to the way signalling works for logical DRCs. 2) For PCI DRCs, the only time signalled would be false is when non-zero functions of a multifunction device are hotplugged, followed by function zero (the other way around is explicitly not permitted). In that case the secondary function DRCs are attached, but the notification isn't sent to the guest until function 0 is plugged. 3) signalled being false is used to allow a DRC detach to switch mode back to ISOLATED state, which allows a secondary function to be hotplugged then unplugged with function 0 never inserted. Without this a secondary function starting in UNISOLATED state couldn't be detached again without function 0 being inserted, all the functions configured by the guest, then sent back to ISOLATED state. 4) But now that PCI DRCs start in ISOLATED state, there's nothing to be done. If the guest doesn't get the notification, it won't switch the device to UNISOLATED state, so nothing prevents it from being unplugged. If the guest does move it to UNISOLATED state without the signal (due to a manual drmgr call, for instance) then it really isn't safe to unplug it. So, this patch removes the signalled variable and all code related to it.
