    PCI: update pci_create_slot() to take a 'hotplug' param · 828f3768
    Alex Chiang 提交于
    Slot detection drivers can co-exist with hotplug drivers. The names
    of the detected/claimed slots may be different depending on module
    load order.
    
    For legacy reasons, we need to allow hotplug drivers to override
    the slot name if a detection driver is loaded first (and they find
    the same slots).
    
    Creating and overriding slot names should be an atomic operation,
    otherwise you get a locking nightmare as various drivers race to
    call pci_create_slot().
    
    pci_create_slot() is already serialized by grabbing the pci_bus_sem.
    
    We update the API and add a 'hotplug' param, which is:
    
    	set if the caller is a hotplug driver
    	NULL if the caller is a detection driver
    
    pci_create_slot() does not actually use the 'hotplug' parameter in this
    patch. A later patch will add the logic that uses it.
