Hi there!
Sorry if I didn't mention everything I was .
A couple of devices had __devinitdata on their tables like written in Documentation/pci.txt,
so I thought this is something that was forgotten.
How can we get clearness in that topic?

I tested that on my system.
make oldconfig
<comment out CONFIG_HOTPLUG>
<install and booting that kernel>
<reading vendor device, etc. of built-in devices in sysfs>
<adding new ID's via new_id>
no errors, no crash
But that mustn't mean something.
I'll take a look at the pci-driver, but some who is more familiar with that should take a look, too.

Hm, I don't think you really disabled CONFIG_HOTPLUG, as that file will
not be present if you disable that option.
So I think your testing was invalid.
