Hi Chris,

I haven't had to do this, but I've thought about how I might do it.

In compact PCI, you can hot-swap a PCI device, and the Linux host
is supposed to go and re-enumerate the PCI bus. There is a
pci (host-side) hotplug skeleton in the source;

linux-2.6/drivers/pci/hotplug/pcihp_skeleton.c

I believe you can do the following;

   - consider the 440GX is a hotplug controller
     (and write a hotplug driver appropriately)
   - when Linux loads the FPGA, the FPGA generates a hotplug
     event, i.e., it just got plugged in
     (I'm not sure what signal is generated, perhaps a
      power-management interrupt PME#?)
   - the 440GX hotplug controller re-enumerates the PCI bus
     and finds the device

I'm sure you can get an idea from the hotplug skeleton what
re-enumeration entails.

Cheers
Dave
