Agreed, It does not make sense to have this driver converted to a hot plug api.

Chances are no-one will ever need eata PCI hotplug; SCSI parallel typically isn't very good at hotplugging, so throwing in PCI hotplug will only confuse matters more. Plus due to the sheer mechanics involved here I find it very unlikely anyone will be using it in real life.
