Create symbolic link to hotplug driver module in the PCI slot
directory (/sys/bus/pci/slots/<SLOT#>). In the past, we need to load
hotplug drivers one by one to identify the hotplug driver that handles
the slot, and it was very inconvenient especially for trouble shooting.
With this change, we can easily identify the hotplug driver.

Are you sure you want to put your contact information here?
Of course, NO :)
Typically, I've used the linux-pci@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list as the
contact when documenting new files in Documentation/ABI/
Thank you for your kind advice. I'll update the patch.
Thanks,
Kenji Kaneshige
Anyhow, if you want to keep it this way, I'm fine with it.
