Fw: PCI Hotplug Slot Naming Scheme

[John Rose]

Interesting idea.  Given that we're already required to keep up with two
identifiers (linu-style and ibm-style), I'm kinda hesitant to introduce
another arbitrary one.  But along these lines, we could store the
48-char IBM-style name in an "address" or similar attribute.

Thanks-
John
