12-eeh-event-dispatcher.patch ppc64: EEH Recovery dispatcher thread This patch adds a mechanism to create recovery threads when an EEH event is received. Since an EEH freeze state may be detected within an interrupt context, we need to get out of the interrupt context before starting recovery. This dispatcher does this in two steps: first, it uses a workqueue to get out, and then lanuches a kernel thread, so that the recovery routine can sleep for exteded periods without upseting the keventd. A kernel thread is created with each EEH event, rather than having one long-running daemon started at boot time. This is because it is anticipated that EEH events will be very rare (very very rare, ideally) and so its pointless to cluter the process tables with a daemon that will almost never run.
