As only the cpci drivers in the 2.6 kernel use them (and that's only
because no one has gotten around to converting them) they will probably
go away some day, whenever that driver gets cleaned up.
Why do you feel you need these functions? No modern pci hotplug driver
needs to use them anymore which lends me to believe they are not
necessary anymore.
Oh, and there's a pci hotplug specific mailing list that questions like
this one would be more on-topic for. I suggest you use that one next
time.
thanks,
