And sometimes a hotplug handler could be a bus, see 
qbus_set_bus_hotplug_handler(). on both case(device & bus), the actual 
hotplug handler called at last is a TYPE_HOTPLUG_HANDLER which reside in 
that device/bus, so I guess, the @hotplug_handler maybe fine:)

anyway, these terms could easily confuse newbies
