Support for dynamic loading and unloading of ACPI SSDT tables upon slot
hotplugs and unplugs.
On SN platforms, we now represent every populated root bus slot with a single
ACPI SSDT table containing info for every device and PPB attached to the slot.
These SSDTs are generated by the prom at initial boot and hotplug time. The
info in these SSDT tables is used by the SN kernel IO "fixup" code (which is
called at boot and hotplug time).
On hotplugs (i.e. enable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom,
attempt to obtain a new ACPI SSDT table for the slot being hotplugged. If
successful, add the table to the ACPI namespace (acpi_load_table()) and then
walk the new devices and add them to the ACPI infrastructure (acpi_bus_add()).
On hot unplugs (i.e. disable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom,
attempt to remove the SSDT table associated with the slot from the ACPI
namespace (acpi_unload_table_id()) and infastructure (acpi_bus_trim()).

A bug was fixed where the sgi hotplug driver was removing
the slot's SSDT table from the ACPI namespace a bit too early in
disable_slot(). Also, we now call acpi_bus_start() subsequent
to acpi_bus_add().
