dmaengine: ioatdma: Ignore IOAT devices under hotplug-capable PCI host bridge The dmaengine core assumes that async DMA devices will only be removed when they not used anymore, or it assumes dma_async_device_unregister() will only be called by dma driver exit routines. But this assumption is not true for the IOAT driver, which calls dma_async_device_unregister() from ioat_remove(). So current IOAT driver doesn't support device hot-removal because it may cause system crash to hot-remove an inuse IOAT device. To support CPU socket hot-removal, all PCI devices, including IOAT devices embedded in the socket, will be hot-removed. The idea solution is to enhance the dmaengine core and IOAT driver to support hot-removal, but that's too hard. This patch implements a hack to disable IOAT devices under hotplug-capable CPU socket so it won't break socket hot-removal.
