Hi Alexey,

This patch (fixed, as you point out below) also seems to improve hotplug
on pSeries.

Currently, the PCI hotplug driver for pSeries (rpaphp) uses generic PCI
scanning to add hot plugged devices, rather than slot power control,
because the slot power control method doesn't work.

AFAIK one of the reasons that slot power control doesn't work is that
the assigned-addresses node isn't populated by QEMU during hotplug, so I
tested this patch on a guest that has been modified to use that method.

In combination with a QEMU change to prevent PCI_PROBE_ONLY being set
(necessary to allow pcibios_finish_adding_to_bus() to do resource
allocation -- I assume you are using a similar change), I was able to
successfully hot plug a few devices!

So this change seems to be a step in the right direction.

(I also tested it with an unmodified guest, and it doesn't seem to harm
hotpluging via generic PCI scanning.)

One nit: I think that calling the variable "unset" is a bit confusing.
What about calling it "aa_missing" or something like that?

Cheers,
Sam.
