Lee, Chun-Yi d429e5c122 ACPI / scan: Indicate to platform when hot remove returns busy
In hotplug logic, it always indicates non-specific failure to
platform through _OST when handing ACPI hot-remove event failed. Then
platform terminates the hot-remove process but it can not identify
the reason.

Base on current hot-remove code, there have two situations that it
returns busy:

 - OSPM try to offline an individual device, but the device offline
   function returns "busy".

 - When the ejection event is applied to an "not offlined yet"
   container.  OSPM sends a kobject change event to userspace and
   returns "busy".

Both of them will returns -EBUSY to ACPI device hotplug function.
Then, the hotplug function indicates non-specific failure to platform
just like for any other error, e.g. -ENODEV or -EIO.

The benefit to the platform for identifying the OS "busy" state is
that it can use a different approach to handle the "busy" instead of
simply terminating the hot-remove operation for an unknown reason.
For example, the platform can wait for a while and then re-trigger
hot-remove.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
