Actually, having considered this particular case a bit more I think that it
is useful to install acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() for things whose scan handlers
register hotplug support, but the registration fails (which should be treated
as "permanently disabled").
However, I still think that devices whose scan handlers don't support hotplug
at all should be treated consistently with devices without scan handlers.
So, what about the slightly modified patch below?

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ACPI / hotplug: Ignore notifications for scan handlers without hotplug
If a scan handler's hotplug profile has not been initialized, do not
install acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() as a notify handler for devices
with the given scan handler attached.
This fixes a problem with the PCI host bridge hotplug which installs
its own notify handler, handle_hotplug_event_root(), by itself and
doesn't register its scan handler's hotplug profile. Toshi says:
"Nevertheless, the ACPI hotplug framework also installs the common
notify handler, acpi_hotplug_notify_cb(), for PCI root bridges.
This causes acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() to call _OST method with
unsupported error as hotplug.enabled is not set."
Moreover, the default behavior for all devices that don't have any
scan handlers attached is not to install notify handlers for them
and there is no difference between this case and the case when
a device's scan handler doesn't support hotplug.
