No, please name this properly, _everything_ is hotpluggable these days,
and unless you want the whole kernel and all busses and devices to use
this, then it needs to be named much better than this, sorry.

We went through this same issue over 10 years ago, please, let's learn
from our mistakes and not do it again.

This is really ACPI specific, so why not just put it under include/acpi/
instead?

And note, PPC and other arches probably do this already (s390?) so to
exclude them from the beginning would not be a good idea.
