This series bases on 5.8-rc6 and refactors the SDEI client driver.
It's the preparatory work of virtualizing SDEI afterwords. The series
is organized as below:

   * PATCH[1-13] refactors and clean up the code. They shouldn't cause
     any functional changes.
   * PATCH[14-15] exposes "struct sdei_event", which will be dereferenced
     on virtualizing SDEI. After it's applied, the SDEI event is identified
     by the instance of "struct sdei_event" instead of event number.
   * PATCH[16] retrieves the signaled property of the SDEI event when it's
     populated. It's needed by SDEI virtualization afterwards.
   * PATCH[17] exposes API (sdei_event_get_info()), which is needed by SDEI
     virtualization either.

The series can be checked out from:

    git@github.com:gwshan/linux.git
    (branch: "sdei_client") 

Testing
=======
I have the SDEI virtualization code implemented as part of KVM module. With
that, the SDEI event can be registered/unregistered/enabled/disabled. Also,
the SDEI event can be injected from host and the guest handler runs properly.

Changelog
=========
