Hi Jarod,

The HP ZBook 15 and 17 Mobile Workstations, generation 2, up to and
including at least BIOS revision 01.07, do not have an ACPI _RMV object
associated with their expresscard slots, so acpi-based hotplug-capable
slot detection fails. If we fall back to pcie-based detection, the systems
work just fine, so this uses dmi matching to do that. With luck, a future
BIOS will remedy this (I've let someone at HP know about the problem),
but for now, just use this for all existing versions.

Note: they *do* have a proper _RMV object for what I believe is their
thunderbolt ports.

Tested successfully on an HP ZBook 17 G2 and HP ZBook 15 G2.

Oh, my goodness. I forgot how terrible this path is. Can anyone write a
simple explanation of how we choose to use acpiphp or pciehp? Module
parameters? A dummy driver that looks for duplicate slot numbers? Looking
for _ADR, _EJ0, _RMV? This is just nuts.

I can't really believe that we're doing this correctly.

If I understand correctly, the ZBooks don't have _RMV, but we try to use
acpiphp anyway, and acpiphp doesn't work?

They do have an _RMV entry for another device, whatever is on 0000:00:1c.0, which appears to be the thunderbolt port, but I have yet to verify that (no thunderbolt devices to play with yet). The expresscard slot is 0000:3c:02.0.

That sounds more like a problem
with our acpiphp/pciehp selection "algorithm" than a BIOS bug.

Jarod, can you open a report at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and attach a
complete dmesg log, "lspci -vv" output, and an acpidump? I'm particularly
interested in whether the BIOS granted us control over PCIe native hotplug.
If it did, I wonder why we would even attempt to use acpiphp.
