ACPIPHP / radeon / nouveau: Fix VGA switcheroo problem related to hotplug
The changes in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem made during the 3.12 development cycle uncovered a problem with VGA switcheroo that on some systems, when the device-specific method (ATPX in the radeon case, _DSM in the nouveau case) is used to turn off the discrete graphics, the BIOS generates ACPI hotplug events for that device and those events cause ACPIPHP to attempt to remove the device from the system (they are events for a device that was present previously and is not present any more, so that's what should be done according to the spec). Then, the system stops functioning correctly. Since the hotplug events in question were simply silently ignored previously, the least intrusive way to address that problem is to make ACPIPHP ignore them again. For this purpose, introduce a new ACPI device flag, no_hotplug, and modify ACPIPHP to ignore hotplug events for PCI devices whose ACPI companions have that flag set. Next, make the radeon and nouveau switcheroo detection code set the no_hotplug flag for the discrete graphics' ACPI companion.
