I don't know of a bullet-proof way to recognize those. In theory
one could check if the PCIe port above the GPU is a non-hotplug
root port, but I think there are machines with hotplug capable
root ports with GPUs below them that aren't actually removable.

However I think ExpressCard-attached GPUs were rare, much less ones
with integrated HDA controller, so in reality that's probably a
non-issue.

Thanks,
