No, to the best of my knowledge.

Not really, unless you're referring to code for specific enclosure
hotplug controllers; the code in Linux is of course GPL encumbered.

Some other things need to change in the PCI code for this to really
be possible (multiple PCI nexus instances, for example, and the ability
to renumber the buses correctly when a new bus is plugged in).
