I see from your patch 2/2 that there is a strong correlation between duplicate slot names and incorrect hot-plug capable bit. If that's true, then I guess there are a lot of broken machines out there... http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=pci_create_slot I was just wondering if we could quirk this somehow, but if you think there are too many broken machines out there, then your approach seems pretty reasonable.
