Subject: [PATCH 3.16 011/136] iommu/vt-d: Don't register bus-notifier
 under dmar_global_lock

3.16.54-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@...e.de>

commit ec154bf56b276a0bb36079a5d22a267b5f417801 upstream.

The notifier function will take the dmar_global_lock too, so
lockdep complains about inverse locking order when the
notifier is registered under the dmar_global_lock.

Reported-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@...mens.com>
Fixes: 59ce0515cdaf ('iommu/vt-d: Update DRHD/RMRR/ATSR device scope caches when PCI hotplug happens')
