Yeah... I did the split because an earlier draft of this series had
a separate path at some point for the plug and unplug cases... but
I agree these should be reunited.

"Is the DRC in a state other than that of a default cold-plugged device
or is an unplug request pending ?" since the DRC of the device to be
unplugged only transitions away from the "ready state" when the guest
asks to isolate the device with the "set-indicator" RTAS call.

I'll go for that. Maybe reverse the semantics, like if "the DRC has
no attached device or it has an attached device without pending unplug
request" then it is in a steady state that doesn't require anything
special at CAS or migration time, eg. spapr_drc_steady() ?
