Better, certainly. Question, also related to Marc's query. Do you
rely on the hotplug (emulated IRQ) to be run _before_ carrying on
with PCI config space accesses following a link-up detection ?
How was the jiffies + 1 expiration time determined ? I assume you
want to run the emulated HP IRQ asap - the question though is
how fast should it be ?
