In the V2 thread it was mentioned that we could just call the DLPAR operation
directly instead of going through the workqueue. I have written a patch to do
this that also cleans up some of the request handling.
requests that come through the hotplug interrupt still use the workqueue. The
other requests, PRRN and sysfs, just call the dlpar handler directly. This
eliminates the need for a wait conditional and return code handling in the
workqueue handler and should solve the issue that John solves with his patch.
This still needs testing but wanted to get people's thoughts.
