    powerpc/pseries: start rtasd before PCI probing · 8c6a0a1f
    Greg Kurz authored
    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.
