That's probably a workable solution.  Though I suspect the pcmcia_cs
package will want a way to detect that hotplug PCI is running, so it
will do the right thing with such cardbus drivers in atypical setups.

Have you looked at the (PCI-less) /etc/hotplug stuff I sent around?
We could arrange that the next iteration of that use some sort of
config file in /etc/hotplug to expose such information; I can toss
in the PCI/Cardbus support, but it'll be short of testing.  The same
stuff could let the /sbin/hotplug command itself show status info.
