Subject: [RFC 0/2] PCI: acpiphp: workaround race between hotplug and SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC job

Hacks to mask a race between HBA scan job and bridge re-configuration(s)
during hotplug. 

I don't like it a bit but it something that could be done quickly
and solves problems that were reported.

Other options to discuss/possibly more invasive:
 1: make sure pci_assign_unassigned_bridge_resources() doesn't reconfigure
    bridge if it's not necessary.
 2. make SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC job wait till hotplug is finished for all slots on
    the bridge or somehow restart the job if it fails
 3. any other ideas?
