Subject: Re: Add option to passively listen for PCIE hotplug events

Ok, from looking at the Microsoft docs 
(http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/c/5/9c5b2167-8017-4bae-9fde-d599bac8184a/BIOS_PCIe_HotPlug.doc) 
I suspect this is the wrong way to go - they make it sound like native 
PCIe hotplug is only supported in Vista and later, so we probably ought 
to be doing something with ACPI instead. I'll look into that later this 
week.
