Loading drivers and doing whatever else is appropriate at that level.
For now, it's mostly driver loading, though there are examples of
things like PDA hotsyncing, firmware downloading, and uploading
photographs from digital cameras.

The suspend/resume support is actually a bit orthogonal to the
hotplug support, though I think it's appropriate to expect that
all drivers support it. Also it's PCI-specific at this time; USB
power management doesn't currently understand those issues
except at the level of host controllers.
As Greg noted, exporting the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
is also pretty important ... at least from the perspective of
user mode driver selection.
