There are 3 types of "indicator" associated with hotplug in the PAPR spec
the "allocation state", "isolation state" and "DR-indicator". The first
two are intimately tied to the various state transitions associated with
hotplug. The DR-indicator, however, is different and simpler.
It's basically just a guest controlled variable which can be used by the
guest to flag state or problems associated with a device. The idea is that
the hypervisor can use it to present information back on management
consoles (on some machines with PowerVM it may even control physical LEDs
on the machine case associated with the relevant device).
For that reason, there's only ever likely to be a single update
implementation so the set_indicator_state method isn't useful. Replace it
with a direct function call.
While we're there, make some small associated cleanups:
* PAPR doesn't use the term "indicator state", just "DR-indicator" and
the allocation state and isolation state are also considered "indicators".
Rename things to be less confusing
* Fold set_indicator_state() and rtas_set_indicator_state() into a single
rtas_set_dr_indicator() function.
