Well, there are other machines that pci hotplug could work on - laptops.
Many have docking stations that add an extra pci bus through a bridge...
it would be really nice to be able to "hot" add that bus, and "hot"
remove it - provided devices on it were not in use.
The IBM laptops do this very well, but I don't think linux supports this
kind of functionality... yet? Is it possible? Is anyone working on it?
