Dean Nelson a460ef8d0a [IA64] fix possible XPC deadlock when disconnecting
This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC
disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will
occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making
callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will
not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now
downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that
there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout
to the registerer.
