Using real PCI hotplug hardware. This is a hack that forces the kernel
to rescan the bus because it was not told it needed to do it. Because
it was not told that, this implies your hardware is not really a pci
hotplug system.

Why do you feel you need to do the above? Why isn't your hardware "just
working" when you add/remove a new PCI device?
