I think it is, if you don't think so, please show me where I am wrong.

It also is not the intention of this SIG, as they do not seem to know
what their intention is, nor is it a kernel issue at all to create such
a program.
So, despite your description of a tool that might be useful for you, I
still stand by my "PCI hotplug has nothing to do with CPU hotplug or
memory hotplug or USB hotplug or PCMCIA hotplug becides the single
word" statment.
Please stop cross-posting to all of these mailing lists at once, it's
not nice, and I will not be doing it again.
