Currently rpaphp registers the following bus types as hotplug slots:
1) Actual PCI Hotplug slots
2) Embedded/Internal PCI slots
3) PCI Host Bridges
The second and third bus types are not actually direct parents of
removable adapters. As such, the rpaphp has special case code to fake
results for attributes like power, adapter status, etc. This patch
removes types 2 and 3 from the rpaphp module.
This patch also changes the DLPAR module so that slots can be
DLPAR-added/removed without having been designated as hotplug-capable.

Currently, rpaphp registers Virtual I/O slots as hotplug slots. The
only purpose of this registration is to ensure that the VIO subsystem
is notified of new VIO buses during DLPAR adds. Similarly, rpaphp
notifies the VIO subsystem when a VIO bus is DLPAR-removed. The rpaphp
module has special case code to fake results for attributes like power,
adapter status, etc.
The VIO register/unregister functions could just as easily be made from
the DLPAR module. This patch moves the VIO registration calls to the
DLPAR module, and removes the VIO fluff from rpaphp altogether.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
