[PATCH2/11] Add PRRN Event Handler

From: Jesse Larrew <jlarrew at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

A PRRN event is signaled via the RTAS event-scan mechanism, which
returns a Hot Plug Event message "fixed part" indicating "Platform
Resource Reassignment". In response to the Hot Plug Event message,
we must call ibm,update-nodes to determine which resources were
reassigned and then ibm,update-properties to obtain the new affinity
information about those resources.

The PRRN event-scan RTAS message contains only the "fixed part" with
the "Type" field set to the value 160 and no Extended Event Log. The
four-byte Extended Event Log Length field is repurposed (since no
Extended Event Log message is included) to pass the "scope" parameter
that causes the ibm,update-nodes to return the nodes affected by the
specific resource reassignment.

This patch adds a handler in rtasd for PRRN RTAS events. The function
pseries_devicetree_update() (from mobility.c) is used to make the
ibm,update-nodes/ibm,update-properties RTAS calls. Updating the NUMA maps
(handled by a subsequent patch) will require significant processing,
so pseries_devicetree_update() is called from an asynchronous workqueue
to allow rtasd to continue processing events.
