Adds the prototype declarations of functions acpi_ec_add_query_handler()
and acpi_ec_remove_query_handler() in header file internal.h and removes
unused functions ec_burst_enable() and ec_burst_disable() in ec.c.

This eliminates the following warnings in ec.c:

<title>ACPI / hotplug / driver core: Handle containers in a special way</title>

<content type='text'>
ACPI container devices require special hotplug handling, at least
on some systems, since generally user space needs to carry out
system-specific cleanup before it makes sense to offline devices in
the container.  However, the current ACPI hotplug code for containers
first attempts to offline devices in the container and only then it
notifies user space of the container offline.

Moreover, after commit 202317a573b2 (ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device
objects for all device nodes in the namespace), ACPI device objects
representing containers are present as long as the ACPI namespace
nodes corresponding to them are present, which may be forever, even
if the container devices are physically detached from the system (the
return values of the corresponding _STA methods change in those
cases, but generally the namespace nodes themselves are still there).
Thus it is useful to introduce entities representing containers that
will go away during container hot-unplug.

The goal of this change is to address both the above issues.

The idea is to create a "companion" container system device for each
of the ACPI container device objects during the initial namespace
scan or on a hotplug event making the container present.  That system
device will be unregistered on container removal.  A new bus type
for container devices is added for this purpose, because device
offline and online operations need to be defined for them.  The
online operation is a trivial function that is always successful
and the offline uses a callback pointed to by the container device's
offline member.

For ACPI containers that callback simply walks the list of ACPI
device objects right below the container object (its children) and
checks if all of their physical companion devices are offline.  If
that's not the case, it returns -EBUSY and the container system
devivce cannot be put offline.  Consequently, to put the container
system device offline, it is necessary to put all of the physical
devices depending on its ACPI companion object offline beforehand.

Container system devices created for ACPI container objects are
initially online.  They are created by the container ACPI scan
handler whose hotplug.demand_offline flag is set.  That causes
acpi_scan_hot_remove() to check if the companion container system
device is offline before attempting to remove an ACPI container or
any devices below it.  If the check fails, a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent is
emitted for the container system device in question and user space
is expected to offline all devices below the container and the
container itself in response to it.  Then, user space can finalize
the removal of the container with the help of its ACPI device
object's eject attribute in sysfs.

of a struct acpi_device pointer to the target device object, so
modify that function to take a struct acpi_device pointer as its

Rework the common ACPI device hotplug code so that it is suitable
for PCI host bridge hotplug and switch the PCI host bridge scan
handler to using the common hotplug code.

This allows quite a few lines of code that are not necessary any more
to be dropped from the PCI host bridge scan handler and removes
arbitrary differences in behavior between PCI host bridge hotplug
and ACPI-based hotplug of other components, like CPUs and memory.

Also acpi_device_hotplug() can be static now.

Modify the common ACPI device hotplug code to always queue up the
same function, acpi_device_hotplug(), using acpi_hotplug_execute()
and make the PCI host bridge hotplug code use that function too for
device hot removal.

This allows some code duplication to be reduced and a race condition
where the relevant ACPI handle may become invalid between the
notification handler and the function queued up by it via
acpi_hotplug_execute() to be avoided.

<id>202317a573b20d77a9abb7c16a3fd5b40cef3d9d</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify the ACPI namespace scanning code to register a struct
acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device,
processor and so on, even if the device represented by that namespace
node is reported to be not present and not functional by _STA.

There are multiple reasons to do that.  First of all, it avoids
quite a lot of overhead when struct acpi_device objects are
deleted every time acpi_bus_trim() is run and then added again
by a subsequent acpi_bus_scan() for the same scope, although the
namespace objects they correspond to stay in memory all the time
(which always is the case on a vast majority of systems).

Second, it will allow user space to see that there are namespace
nodes representing devices that are not present at the moment and may
be added to the system.  It will also allow user space to evaluate
_SUN for those nodes to check what physical slots the "missing"
devices may be put into and it will make sense to add a sysfs
attribute for _STA evaluation after this change (that will be
useful for thermal management on some systems).

Next, it will help to consolidate the ACPI hotplug handling among
subsystems by making it possible to store hotplug-related information
in struct acpi_device objects in a standard common way.

Finally, it will help to avoid a race condition related to the
deletion of ACPI namespace nodes.  Namely, namespace nodes may be
deleted as a result of a table unload triggered by _EJ0 or _DCK.
If a hotplug notification for one of those nodes is triggered
right before the deletion and it executes a hotplug callback
via acpi_hotplug_execute(), the ACPI handle passed to that
callback may be stale when the callback actually runs.  One way
to work around that is to always pass struct acpi_device pointers
to hotplug callbacks after doing a get_device() on the objects in
question which eliminates the use-after-free possibility (the ACPI
handles in those objects are invalidated by acpi_scan_drop_device(),
so they will trigger ACPICA errors on attempts to use them).

If an ACPI namespace node is removed (usually, as a result of a
table unload), and there is a data object attached to that node,
acpi_ns_delete_node() executes the removal handler submitted to
acpi_attach_data() for that object.  That handler is currently empty
for struct acpi_device objects, so it is necessary to detach those
objects from the corresponding ACPI namespace nodes in advance every
time a table unload may happen.  That is cumbersome and inefficient
and leads to some design constraints that turn out to be quite
inconvenient (in particular, struct acpi_device objects cannot be
registered for namespace nodes representing devices that are not
reported as present or functional by _STA).

For this reason, introduce a non-empty removal handler for ACPI
device objects that will unregister them when their ACPI namespace
nodes go away.

This code modification alone should not change functionality except
for the ordering of the ACPI hotplug workqueue which should not
matter (without subsequent code changes).

<title>ACPI / hotplug: Consolidate deferred execution of ACPI hotplug routines</title>

There are two different interfaces for queuing up work items on the
ACPI hotplug workqueue, alloc_acpi_hp_work() used by PCI and PCI host
bridge hotplug code and acpi_os_hotplug_execute() used by the common
ACPI hotplug code and docking stations.  They both are somewhat
cumbersome to use and work slightly differently.

The users of alloc_acpi_hp_work() have to submit a work function that
will extract the necessary data items from a struct acpi_hp_work
object allocated by alloc_acpi_hp_work() and then will free that
object, while it would be more straightforward to simply use a work
function with one more argument and let the interface take care of
the execution details.

The users of acpi_os_hotplug_execute() also have to deal with the
fact that it takes only one argument in addition to the work function
pointer, although acpi_os_execute_deferred() actually takes care of
the allocation and freeing of memory, so it would have been able to
pass more arguments to the work function if it hadn't been
constrained by the connection with acpi_os_execute().

Moreover, while alloc_acpi_hp_work() makes GFP_KERNEL memory
allocations, which is correct, because hotplug work items are
always queued up from process context, acpi_os_hotplug_execute()
uses GFP_ATOMIC, as that is needed by acpi_os_execute().  Also,
acpi_os_execute_deferred() queued up by it waits for the ACPI event
workqueues to flush before executing the work function, whereas
alloc_acpi_hp_work() can't do anything similar.  That leads to
somewhat arbitrary differences in behavior between various ACPI
hotplug code paths and has to be straightened up.

For this reason, replace both alloc_acpi_hp_work() and
acpi_os_hotplug_execute() with a single interface,
acpi_hotplug_execute(), combining their behavior and being more
friendly to its users than any of the two.
