pciehp: Cannot get control of hotplug hardware

pciehp: Cannot get control of hotplug hardware

[Ryan Hope]

Ever since I started playing with suspend I started turning on PCI Hot
Plug support.... since then I have been seeing messages like whats
below from dmesg.... I'm not exactly sure how this actually impacts me
if it does at all. I just thought it didn't look exactly right so I
wanted to inquire about it. Does anyone know what is going on here?

Your pci express hotplug controller does not support the proper hotplug
capabilities.  It's probably a bios issue as Windows doesn't support
this just yet (I think Vista now does), so those functions were usually
never tested.

You should be able to just ignore them, unless you want to use your pci
express hotplug functionality.  What kind of hardware is this, a laptop
with expresscard?  Or something else?
