ACPI / hotplug: Introduce user space interface for hotplug profiles
Introduce user space interface for manipulating hotplug profiles associated with ACPI scan handlers. The interface consists of sysfs directories under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/, one for each hotplug profile, containing an attribute allowing user space to manipulate the enabled field of the corresponding profile. Namely, switching the enabled attribute from '0' to '1' will cause the common hotplug notify handler to be installed for all ACPI namespace objects representing devices matching the scan handler associated with the given hotplug profile (and analogously for the converse switch). Drivers willing to use the new user space interface should add their ACPI scan handlers with the help of new funtion acpi_scan_add_handler_with_hotplug(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
