Do not know if we really need ACPI for PCIe HP to work. As long as the switch ports is capable of Hotplug operations and have MSI vector to interrupt Linux OS should be able to work. I have verified existing hotplug features on linux and extended for a switch appliance. Both control and surprise hotplug work. I used Cent 6.7 as well as Linux-3.8.1 kernel. You should take a look at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2005/ols2005v2-pages-9-18.pdf and also hot plug specs.
