Yes, I do think ultimately it would make sense to keep track at every
bridge whether it or any descendant is a hotplug bridge so we could
distribute extra space only to bridges that could potentially use it.

But I don't know if that needs to be done in this series.  This code
is so complicated and fragile that I think being ruthless about
defining the minimal problem we're solving and avoiding scope creep
will improve our chances of success.

So treat this as a question to improve my understanding more than
anything.
