As suspected, the pnp.bus_id/id of the last device before the serial
console dies is COM1/PNP0501.  I also see all of these being trimmed
out:

 MBRD/PNP0C02
 DMAC/PNP0200
 MATH/PNP0C04
 PIC/PNP0000
 HPET/PNP0103
 RTC/PNP0B00
 SPKR/PNP0800
 TIME/PNP0100
 LNK{A-H}/PNP0C0F

This seems like a bad idea.  I forgot to mention, the original
hotplug_event is called with a device check on \_SB_.PCI0.PEX2.  The box
where I'm seeing this is a pretty generic X58 based Nehalem workstation
(Lenovo S20).  Thanks,

Alex
