You just sent four patches all of which are identified as "Fix PCIe hotplug
for non-ACPI ExpressCard slots (version 2)".  Please do not do this.

I went through the (tiresome) exercise of inventing unique names for them
and then discovered that the first patch gets just a couple of rejects against
the mainline tree....
