Actually, what this guy wants to do does have a practical application.

I have in front of me an Adex Electronics PCI bus extender with a
disconnect switch. I would like to use this to plug PCI boards into
a Linux system, configure the device, and turn it on. The idea is to
test hardware, not to provide an end-user tool.

So the question is valid: Is there a way under Linux to grab a bunch
of PCI resources after the system is already running? Detach them
again?
