Why not have the hotplug drivers fill in the ops->owner and ops->mod_name?
That would be the more common pattern within the kernel -- eg for
file_operations.  There's only 9 places to change.

I don't understand why you want to put these functions in the slot
driver rather than in the PCI hotplug core.  Then they'd be private to
the hotplug core.

Ew.  Surely there's a better way ... even if it's putting the kobject
in the slot ops.
