</links>
<body>
<p>A new implementation for support of native PCI-express
hotplug is present at the URL above. Much of the new code
lives in the PCI-PCI bridge driver to handle hotplug events
and manage the PCI-express slot registers. Additional changes
in the branch include adding new 'rescan' and 'delete'
commands to <tt>devctl(8)</tt> as well as support for
rescanning PCI busses.</p>
<p>The current implementation has been tested on systems with
ExpressCard but could use additional testing, especially on
systems with other PCI-express HotPlug features such as
mechanical latches, attention buttons, indicators, etc.</p>
