[Devel] [PATCH] powerpc pseries eeh: Convert to kthread API

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com>

This patch modifies the startup of eehd to use kthread_run
not a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize.  Making
the code slightly simpler and more maintainable.
