I think Ben's going to take a look at it, but in the meantime, perhaps it would help if Alex can tell us how he thinks we can handle hot-plugging an entire PCI host bridge (which we can do on pSeries), or having slots appear and disappear (which happens when the hypervisor assigns slots to our partition or takes them away from us). AIUI, the problem was that Alex's code seemed to assume those things didn't/couldn't happen.
