Yes, the driver/pci/hotplug changes are platform specific, but so are
all the changes for this patch.

There is a call to /sbin/hotplug.  I had to trace it through the code,
but the path is ...

rpaphp_disable_slot
  disable_slot
    rpaphp_unconfig_pci_adapter
      pci_remove_bus_device
        pci_destroy_dev
          device_unregister
            device_del
              kobject_del
                kobject_hotplug
                  kset_hotplug
                    call_usermodehelper("/sbin/hotplug")


Linas found some other issues with the patch, so there will be an
updated patch later today (i hope). thanks.
