| title: | Re PATCH 0 2 pci hotplug pciehp add an ue |

The reason Im asking is because, if youre looking to get a
uevent emitted when the attention button is pressed or the MRL is
opened, well... why do you need it? The operator knows he pressed
the button or opened the latch.
So Im confused as to why software would need to know about these
physical events.
I think the sysfs operation for hotplug is not very nice, so I want to make
the hotplug management utility. The utility that I have in mind has abilities
- to display slots status (power, latch, ...)
- to show and record hotplug event log
- to perform hotplug operations
- to show hotplug procedure automatically when the attention button is pressed.
and so on. I think the event notification is variously useful...
Is it unnecessary?
