Hi,

I'm using 2.6 Kernel. I'm having a (Hot-pluggable)
Qlogic HBA plugged into a PCI Express Slot. 

I want to fake an hot-unplug event for this HBA,
without physically removing it from the slot.
Basically what I want is that while the HBA is still
physically present at the slot, I want to fire a
command / program that would fake the hot-unplug event
for this slot, and thus will deregister the HBA from
Linux. Ideally, I want to do this from userspace. But
if it is not possible, then I can go for a kernel
module as well.

I think that this feature was made available by "Fake
PCI Hot plug controller Driver", but I believe that
can only be used if my system does not have REAL
hot-plugging slots. Can "Fake PCI Hot-plug Controller
Driver" and "PCI Express Hot-plug Controller Driver"
Co-exist ??? (So that I can manually give fake unplug
event and THEN remove the device; While hot-plugging,
I want PCI Express HPC driver to take care of every
thing)

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do?

TIA,

Rajat
