Hi.

This is part of patchset series described in [T].

This is the second take of add-hotplug-support patchset.  Changes from
the last take[L] are

* No ap->hotplug_flags and no atomic bitops helpers.  All are handled
  via dev->dflags and ap->eh_info.  Things are much simpler now.

* Tighter event handling.  Unless a new device is plugged in the
  middle of reset (there's no generic and reliable way to handle
  this), no hotplug event is lost.

* Stronger SCSI synchronization.  There still is a race condition
  during SCSI scan after hotplugging, but the window is really tiny
  and there doesn't seem to be a waterproof way to fix it.  I don't
  think the race will ever get triggered and even if it does the worst
  that can happen is not attaching a SCSI device for a newly detected
  ATA device.  Other than this race condition, everything should be
  watertight.

* Disabled devices are not automatically rescanned on user scan
  request unless the user explicitly requests scan of the device by
  specifying the device ID or using wild card.

* Probing during driver loading and detaching while unloading are all
  handled by hotplug.  There is only one probing/detaching path now.

* Unused ->probe_init, ->probe_reset and all related functions killed.

This patchset is against
