Initially I thought, Rob suggested either "slot-pluggable".
followed by, "hotpluggable" since memory node already has such property.

but not sure in which generic pci binding I should add ?
should it be part of
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/host-generic-pci.txt

Can you please clarify Rob ?
