The idea of using PCI hotplug is nice, however, PCI hotplug does not seem to
work with the used setup (xen-3.4.3, all 64bit). Hot-unplug works, however the 
following hotplug makes the driver domain kernel spit out the following:

Sep 24 09:46:01 localhost kernel: [  113.045927] pcifront pci-0: Rescanning

^C

Nothing suspicious in xend, Xen and dom0 logs.

The domU and dom0 kernels are the same, 2.6.34.1-10.xenlinux (SUSE patches
for 2.6.34.1).

With old pvops (2.6.31.9-1.pvops0) in domU, the message on the hot-plug is 
similar:
Sep 24 09:50:40 localhost kernel: pcifront pci-0: Rescanning PCI Frontend
Bus 0000:00
Sep 24 09:50:51 localhost kernel: pcifront pci-0: Rescanning PCI Frontend
Bus 0000:00

0000:00:01.00 found.
Sep 24 09:50:51 localhost kernel: iwlagn 0000:00:01.0: device not available
because of BAR 0 [0xf8000000-0xf8001fff] collisions

Others seem to experience similar problems (e.g.
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/80766). Does
anyone know the solution ?
