I'm trying to get into 2.6.28. ;)

Hm... I don't think this is a common scenario but...

int pci_hp_register(...)
{
	...

        pci_slot = pci_create_slot(bus, slot_nr, name, 1);
        if (IS_ERR(pci_slot))    
                return PTR_ERR(pci_slot);

        if (pci_slot->hotplug) {
                dbg("%s: already claimed\n", __func__);
                pci_destroy_slot(pci_slot);
                return -EBUSY;
        }
	...
}

I could maybe move that check into pci_create_slot() instead.

struct pci_slot *pci_create_slot(...)
{
	...

        /*
         * Get existing slot and rename if desired
         */
        slot = get_slot(parent, slot_nr);
        if (slot && rename) {
		if ((err = slot->hotplug ? -EBUSY : 0)
		     || (err = rename_slot(slot, name))) {
                        kobject_put(&slot->kobj);
                        slot = NULL;
                        goto err;
                } else
                        goto out;
        } else if (slot)
                goto out;
	...
}

Seems a little ugly to me, but maybe it's necessary?
