We can treat it as a hard unplug (like a cardbus gone away).
IE. Dispose of the direct mappings (switch to MMIO emulation) and return
all ff's from reads (& ignore writes).
Then send an unplug event via whatever mechanism the platform provides
(ACPI hotplug controller on x86 for example, we haven't quite sorted out
what to do on power for hotplug yet).
Cheers,
Ben.
