can you please post whole boot log ?
wonder if your slot is supporting surprise removal.. if not, attached
patch could remove some
noise about
Mar 20 21:04:17 vostro kernel: pciehp 0000:00:1c.7:pcie04: Card not
present on Slot(7)
Mar 20 21:04:18 vostro kernel: pciehp 0000:00:1c.7:pcie04: Card
present on Slot(7)
Mar 20 21:04:19 vostro kernel: pciehp 0000:00:1c.7:pcie04: Card not
present on Slot(7)
Mar 20 21:04:20 vostro kernel: pciehp 0000:00:1c.7:pcie04: Card
present on Slot(7).
also we have some patches in pci/linux-next, that will power off pcie
link after removal.
so please check if that tree is going to help or wait for kernel 3.4-rc1.

Subject: [PATCH] pciehp: Don't enable presence notification while surprise removal is not supported.
If surprise removal is not supported, that event get dropped later.
So there is no point to enable that.
Also Some sick chipset have those bit flip around.
