Interesting.

My understanding of Documentation/PCI/pci-error-recovery.txt is that a
driver should be able to just supply an error_detected() callback. If
the driver just wants to collect diag-data and wants to be hotplugged,
it should return PCI_ERS_RESULT_NONE.

What drivers did you have in mind?

Daniel
