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 devctl(8) as well as support for + rescanning PCI busses.

+ +

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.

+ + + + +

Split branch into separate logical changes as commit + candidates.

+ + + +

Additional testing.
