Thanks much for the exact steps. Here are the results (with 2.6.25 and 2.6.28.3 ). Pls let me know if you want me to run them on a different branch or other steps.
 
with 2.6.25-14

Built the kernel with these options:-

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI_IBM=m
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_CPCI is not set
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=m
