Will that not just confuse people? Only for people who think that /sys/bus/pci/slots/ is for hotpluggable slots only. There is plenty of useful information available for slots that aren't hotpluggable (eg bus address, speed, width, error status). -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
