We don't know whether it's PCI or PCIe. In the hotplug topologies I'm familiar with, a bridge only leads to one hot-pluggable slot, but I don't remember anything that would guarantee that. For PCIe, I think there can only be one slot, but for PCI I would think it possible to have one bridge leading to several hotpluggable slots, with the hotplug controller(s) being separate from the bridge.
