Looking again to the code I still think you may easily do all stuff
here in shorter and cleaner manner.
Do we anticipate that there will be more callers that would like to
get ost_code for one specific type of event?
Above intrusion to the acpi_generic_hotplug_event() looks to me like
non-generic hack.
