I sent more or less the same some years ago.
Thanks a lot for finally cleaning this up!

Getting rid of these will be the tricky part.
When I looked at it start/stop already was defined, but nobody used it.
IMO start/stop is not needed and hotplug capable device drivers can
handle things themselves in the relevant notify case.
Most risky part probably will be to register devices which are not present
(to get rid of the own system bus handlers).
I could imagine it will just work. The device drivers have to be able to
handle it. E.g. check in add() or notify() whether _STA is present and if not,
don't touch the device's functions. This should mostly be done for hotplug
capable drivers and not necessary for others (additional sanity checking for
_STA being not present is a good idea, though).
I remember these two guys helped me testing on memory hotplug.
They only had a simulator, but might want to give the latest kernel a try if
you come to clean up acpi_memhotplug.c:
kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
AFAIK, we also have memory hotplug capable machines somewhere, tell
me if I shall test something.
Thanks a lot,
Thomas
