Is this what we expected to be pending work for the item "device
hotplug (MODULE_ALIAS)" on the upstream TODO list?
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/XenParavirtOps#Upstream_delta_details
This was simply to just auto load that driver when needed right?
Also as for actual PCI device hotplug support:

I don't think we need a delta for that do we?
