I didn't say about calling the pci_slot driver from the ACPI core, but about
enumerating slots in a way suitable for consumption by the pci_slot driver
when it's ready.
That said I really don't see a value in having a modular pci_slot driver. It
is part of the hotplug infrastructure and should always be presend for this
reason, so we don't need to worry about the "pci_slot driver not present" case.

I suppose you mean "after"? [I'm not sure if I agree with that, but whatever.]
We know which devices have slots before that happens, though.
