Michael Ellerman e2d5915293 powerpc/pseries: Make RAS IRQ explicitly dependent on DLPAR WQ
The hotplug code uses its own workqueue to handle IRQ requests
(pseries_hp_wq), however that workqueue is initialized after
init_ras_IRQ(). That can lead to a kernel panic if any hotplug
interrupts fire after init_ras_IRQ() but before pseries_hp_wq is
initialised. eg:

  UDP-Lite hash table entries: 2048 (order: 0, 65536 bytes)
  NET: Registered protocol family 1
  Unpacking initramfs...
  (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=10G

This commit makes the RAS IRQ registration explicitly dependent on the
creation of the pseries_hp_wq.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
