You might get away with it for your limited hardware platform, but all bets are off if you plug it into something else. Again, PCI resource management is handled by the firmware/bios and the pci hotplug controller. You can try to fake it out, with limited success, but really, why do you want to do so? Just use a real machine, that's what the pci hotplug hardware was designed for. It's much cheaper than trying to work around it in the end, trust me... greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hotplug" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
