I wrote PCI hotplug code for a similar board, primarily for testing
my drivers. It hooked into the CardBus/hotplug interface ("pci-scan")
that I use.
I handled the removal (actually power-off) case just by polling the
vendor ID register in PCI configuration space in a normal add_timer().
This initially looks sleazy, but it's very low overhead and the
semantics match CardBus controllers. ("Oh, yeah, the card was ejected
two seconds ago. I assumed that you knew that when you got 0xffffffff
when reading. Here is your eject callback so that you can clean up.")
