Grouping them under "pci" probably makes more sense than grouping them
under "hotplug".  A lot can be hotplugged (cpu, memory, PCI, USB, ...)
but it's mostly unrelated hardware and enabling all their events at once
doesn't seem to make much sense.  Whereas I can imagine people want to
enable all PCI trace events.  We currently only have tracepoints for AER
in the PCI core, but perhaps people will want to add new ones for
power faults, DPC recovery, bandwidth control etc.

Would something like

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/hotplug_event

be possible?  It would seem more elegant than

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/pci/pci_hp_event

because it avoids the duplication of "pci" in the path.

Thanks,
