Yes, that's exactly how it works.
To be honest, I've never had to suppress it. I can think of a few ways
to prevent it short of recompiling patched driver source:
1. Boot with the nohotplug kernel parameter. However, this will prevent
all hotplugging. Probably not what you're looking for.
2. Edit /lib/modules/${uname -r}/modules.pcimap and remove the ivtv
lines. This will prevent hotplug from knowing about the device mapping.
3. Edit the /etc/hotplug/pci.agent and somehow have it skip coldplugging
the ivtv drivers.
