Can we please relax a bit and possibly take a step back?

So since your last reply to me wasn't particularly helpful, I went through the
code in dock.c and acpiphp_glue.c and I simply think that the whole
hotplug_list thing is simply redundant.

It looks like instead of using it (or the klist in this patch), we can add a
"hotlpug_device" flag to dock_dependent_device and set that flag instead of
adding dd to hotplug_devices or clear it instead of removing dd from that list.

That would allow us to avoid the deadlock, because we wouldn't need the hp_lock
any more and perhaps we could make the code simpler instead of making it more
complex.

How does that sound?
