[PATCH v2] powerpc/pseries: start rtasd before PCI probing

[Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

A strange behaviour is observed when comparing PCI hotplug in QEMU, between
x86 and pseries. If you consider the following steps:
- start a VM
- add a PCI device via the QEMU monitor before the rtasd has started (for
  example starting the VM in paused state, or hotplug during FW or boot
  loader)
- resume the VM execution

The x86 kernel detects the PCI device, but the pseries one does not.

This happens because the rtasd kernel worker is currently started under
device_initcall, while PCI probing happens earlier under subsys_initcall.

As a consequence, if we have a pending RTAS event at boot time, a message
is printed and the event is dropped.

This patch moves all the initialization of rtasd to arch_initcall, which is
run before subsys_call: this way, logging_enabled is true when the RTAS
event pops up and it is not lost anymore.

The proc fs bits stay at device_initcall because they cannot be run before
fs_initcall.

v2: - avoid behaviour change: don't create the proc entry if early init failed

Michael,

This was also tested under PowerVM: it doesn't fix anything there because the
HMC tells it won't honor DLPAR features as long as the RMC isn't here, which
happens later in the boot sequence. It hence seems impossible to have a pending
RTAS event at boot time.

It doesn't seem to break anything either, the kernel boots and hotplug works
okay once the RMC is up.

Cheers.
