And I don't have pci_slot's at all yet on powerpc "powernv" (the host
platform for KVM) since at this stage we don't support physical hotplug
on the target machines...

Alex, why specifically looking for "slots" here ? I don't quite
understand. It makes sense to be able to reset individual devices
whether they are on the otherboard, behind extension chassis or directly
on slots...

Cheers,
