As only the cpci drivers in the 2.6 kernel use them (and that's only because no one has gotten around to converting them) they will probably go away some day, whenever that driver gets cleaned up. Why do you feel you need these functions? No modern pci hotplug driver needs to use them anymore which lends me to believe they are not necessary anymore. Oh, and there's a pci hotplug specific mailing list that questions like this one would be more on-topic for. I suggest you use that one next time. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
