[patch 0/2] acpiphp: hotplug adapters with bridges on them

[Kristen Accardi]

These 2 patches will allow adapters with p2p bridges on them to be
successfully hotplugged using the acpiphp driver.  Currently, if you
attempt to hotplug an adapter with a p2p bridge on it, the operation
will fail because resources are not allocated to it properly.  These
patches have had very limited testing as I only have one machine and one
type of adapter to test this with.  I tested this with 2.6.14-rc2, but
the patch applies fine to rc3 as well.

Is this patch supposed to allow me to hot-plug/hot-eject my laptop in its
docking station ?
I have an IBM T41 and a docking station with extra IDE/PCI/PCMCIA bus-es on it.
I've tried for a long time to make them work hot, but till now, I could
not make them work.
I can only use the docking station if I boot in it.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Actually, I did this patch as part of the work I'm doing to enable
docking station support.  It is necessary for docking station, however,
it isn't the only thing that is needed to get docking station to work.
The docking station patch is in progress still - and will hopefully be
ready for testing soon.

Hi Kristen,

Thanks for the info.
Just let me know when your docking station support patch is ready, and maybe I can help with
testing.

Paul
