OK.  You need a daemon to respond to the state diagram of the pci hot
plug interaction model.

: then it is devd that should come into play( like the sbin/hotplug in
: linux?):)

Yes.  devd predates hotplug in Linux, but not by much (they both were
worked on in parallel).

: i mean the enumeration  way . and the trickes to talk with the hotplug bridge.

You'll need to look at how cardbus handles this.

: i will begin with the fake way here ,then give support to pciexpress
: native hotplug .there is common register interface for pci e hotplug
: first ,i will not change the source ,just add a module.

I think you should make it be a full-fledged driver, rather than an
add-on on the side.  You'll not be able to solve the resource problems
otherwise.
