Sorry, it took me a few days to get to testing this out. It looks good,
but I had to make a couple of tweaks to avoid a hang when rmmod'ing a
board driver. The board drivers do:
cpci_hp_stop()
cpci_hp_unregister_controller(controller)
to shutdown, and the check in cpci_hp_unregister_controller if the thread
is running wasn't working due to a bit too much code being excised. The
result was kthread_stop being called twice, which hangs. I've indicated
my changes to avoid this inline below.

There still needs to be a:
thread_finished = 0;
here, so that things work if a board driver is insmod'ed again after a
rmmod (i.e. cpci_hp_start after a cpci_hp_stop).

As well, there still needs to be a:
thread_finished = 1;
here to make the check in cpci_hp_unregister_controller work.
