I don't know about cpqhp (it's been a while since I looked at it), but
I've had to do some hacking to get interrupt assignment working with
CompactPCI system master boards that have IO-APICs. I'll probably float
a patch out after OLS.

I'm CC'ing it in this reply. Olivier, please prune linux-hotplug-devel
from your replies.

PS: Greg, if I see you (or maybe Russell and/or Ivan K.) there, I
wouldn't mind a little discussion on what the strategy should
be for bus renumbering, as a lot of the new CPCI boards I'm
seeing are going to need some form of it.
