Hi all,

This patch adds support for synthesizing PCI hotplug slot uevents via a
sysfs attribute.

The patch has been rebased on top of the current upstream/devel branch
and includes the feedback received during previous review rounds. The
Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags from the previous revision have been
retained.

I'd appreciate feedback on the next steps in the review and merge
process. Please let me know if any further changes are needed.

Thanks,
Ramesh Errabolu

Add a write-only 'uevent' sysfs attribute for synthesizing
uevents for a PCI slot. This extends the existing uevent
support which emits a KOBJ_ADD uevent in pci_hp_add() with
the ability to replay such uevents for cold plugged devices.
As such events are only emitted by hotplug capable PCI slots
so is the support for synthesizing them.

The change was validated by manually triggering 'add' uevent
for a specific hotplug PCI slot:

    $ echo "add $(uuidgen)" | sudo tee   \
                /sys/bus/pci/slots/<slot-id>/uevent
