I don't mind writing this up. The previous patch fixes a reported bug
with minimal reorg. If possible, I'd like to restructure on top of
that.

Certain RTAS calls expect identical inputs between successive calls,
while others (ibm,change-msi) expect modified "sequence" inputs, etc.
Given this inconsistency, we probably can't handle busy rcs inside
rtas_call().
Thanks-
