The ordering values above are used to define the relative order among
handlers.  For instance, the 100 for SHP_ACPI_BUS_DEL_EXECUTE_ORDER can
potentially be 21 since it is still larger than 20 for
SHP_MEM_DEL_EXECUTE_ORDER defined in linux/sys_hotplug.h.  I picked 100
so that more platform-neutral handlers can be added in between 20 and
100 in future.
