This mini-series is lacking a cover letter and a change log.
Please also find a better subject for this one: Luckily you are not just
dropping things but rather implementing the new hotplug interface.

Is this a resend from Zhu Guihua's series or did anything change?
I think for Soft Freeze and Hard Freeze coming up today it's too late.

As you may have seen, I've posted a test case to facilitate testing of
the various proposed code movements.

Regards,
Andreas
