[PATCH] PCI Hotplug: RPA dynamic addition/removal of PCI Host Bridges
The following patch implements the RPA PCI Hotplug and DLPAR driver changes for the dynamic addition/removal of PCI Host bridges (PHBs). These operations are initiated in the same way as existing slot DLPAR operations, which is by writing the firmware (drc) name of the PHB to: /sys/bus/pci/slots/control/[add,remove]_slot The "kernel" entry points for these operations are: pcibios_remove_root_bus() ppc64-specific, submitted to ppc64 list on 8/19, not yet accepted http://ozlabs.org/ppc64-patches/patch.pl?id=241 init_phb_dynamic() ppc64-specific, submitted to ppc64 list on 9/16, not yet accepted http://ozlabs.org/ppc64-patches/patch.pl?id=292 pci_remove_bus() generic, submitted and accepted by Greg http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.3/0595.htmlSigned-off-by: John Rose <johnrose@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>
