Well, I started to work on this for fun. What I currently have is a
stand-alone module which rescans the pci bus on insert and enables
previously disabled devices. This works (at least with my ieee1394 port).
Problem is, that fakephp does not get notified about this new pci device
and no new file is created in /sys/bus/pci/slots. So I'm going to add
this rescan functionality directly to fakephp.
Question is: where? My current idea is a fake hotplug slot "rescan" in
/sys/bus/pci/slots , where you can write "1" into the "power" attribute.
FWIW I've attached the standalone module and a kernel patch which rips
out the pci_bus_add_device functionality from pci_bus_add_devices.
