Actually, I came to think of this after posting to the list earlier today. I take it that device drivers needs to be PCI hot-plug aware in order to make them work in h-p environments? If this is the case, it should be perfectly valid to require the h-p aware driver to keep the PCI device info for it's device in the driver.
