As it should. What I meant is that *user space* hotplug handles BOTH
because the interface to the kernel is the _same_ AFAIK. Not that you need
PCI hotplug in the kernel for USB hotplug to work. In fact, you probably
don't need it even for CardBus, since there is a legacy interface for that
one I think...
