When SSAM client devices have been (physically) hot-removed, communication attempts with those devices may fail and time out. This can even extend to event notifiers, due to which timeouts may occur during device removal, slowing down that process. Add a parameter to the notifier unregister function that allows skipping communication with the EC to prevent this. Furthermore, add wrappers for registering and unregistering notifiers belonging to SSAM client devices that automatically check if the device has been marked as hot-removed and communication should be avoided. Note that non-SSAM client devices can generally not be hot-removed, so also add a convenience wrapper for those, defaulting to allow communication.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
