[v8,07/22] ACPI: Separate acpi_bus_trim to support two steps.

Current all acpi_bus_trim callers have rmdevice to 1.
that means it will remove all acpi devices.

When 0, is passed, it will keep the parent.

For root bus hotremove support, we need to have pci device to be
removed before acpi devices.

So try to keep all acpi devices, and only stop drivers with them.

This change should be safe because all current callers all have 1 passed.

I'm not sure how the chanelog is related to the patch itself.

The patch modifies the behavior of acpi_bus_trim() to avoid removing all
devices (not just the start point) for rmdevice==0, which doesn't really change
the functionality, because all callers pass rmdevice=1 anyway.

Yes, we can make this change, but why is it necessary?

And why don't we remove the rmdevice argument from acpi_bus_trim() altogether?

this patch is not needed after your changes with acpi_bus_trim.

OK, cool. :-)

Thanks,
