Would not it better to rather synthesise PCIe Slot Capabilities support in your PCIe Root Port device (e.g. via pci-bridge-emul.c) and then let existing PCI hotplug code to take care for hotplugging? Because it already implements all required stuff for re-scanning, registering and unregistering PCIe devices for Root Ports with Slot Capabilities. And I think that there is no need to have just another (GPIO based) implementation of PCI hotplug.
