Hi Bjorn,
	I have done some investigation about how to implement this without
using notifier chain. Due to commit "PCI: Put pci_dev in device tree as early
as possible", a PCI device will be registered to the driver core before creating
the subordinate PCI bus. So we can't reply on the ACPI PCI device glue code
to create/destroy PCI slots or acpiphp hotplug slots. So my current plan is
to introduce two weak functions as below, is it acceptable?

Regards!
Gerry
