There are two different interfaces for queuing up work items on the ACPI hotplug workqueue, alloc_acpi_hp_work() used by PCI and PCI host bridge hotplug code and acpi_os_hotplug_execute() used by the common ACPI hotplug code and docking stations. They both are somewhat cumbersome to use and work slightly differently. The users of alloc_acpi_hp_work() have to submit a work function that will extract the necessary data items from a struct acpi_hp_work object allocated by alloc_acpi_hp_work() and then will free that object, while it would be more straightforward to simply use a work function with one more argument and let the interface take care of the execution details. The users of acpi_os_hotplug_execute() also have to deal with the fact that it takes only one argument in addition to the work function pointer, although acpi_os_execute_deferred() actually takes care of the allocation and freeing of memory, so it would have been able to pass more arguments to the work function if it hadn't been constrained by the connection with acpi_os_execute(). Moreover, while alloc_acpi_hp_work() makes GFP_KERNEL memory allocations, which is correct, because hotplug work items are always queued up from process context, acpi_os_hotplug_execute() uses GFP_ATOMIC, as that is needed by acpi_os_execute(). Also, acpi_os_execute_deferred() queued up by it waits for the ACPI event workqueues to flush before executing the work function, whereas alloc_acpi_hp_work() can't do anything similar. That leads to somewhat arbitrary differences in behavior between various ACPI hotplug code paths and has to be straightened up. For this reason, replace both alloc_acpi_hp_work() and acpi_os_hotplug_execute() with a single interface, acpi_hotplug_execute(), combining their behavior and being more friendly to its users than any of the two.
