Sorry if this is a silly question, but can you please explain where
the "-en" suffix comes from?

"en" stands for enable.

AFAICT there are no other capabilities that use this convention.
Moreover, the option can be used both to enable *and* disable
hotplug, so the name doesn't seem accurate either...

The string is not exposed to users, so ultimately none of this really
matters, but I would still suggest changing it to

   piix4.acpi-root-pci-hotplug

I'd be happy to either review a patch of yours that does that, or
preparing such a patch myself.


BAH!!! Someone else mentioned that in an earlier iteration of the patches (and may have even suggested the "." after piix4 instead of "-"), and I had meant to check/ask about it in the respin, and then forgot. :-/ (somehow my brain skipped right over those 3 characters)

I agree with Andrea's suggested change, and apologize for not catching it in review (fortunately it was pushed just *after* a release instead of before, so we can still make such a change). I'll gladly review and/or push any such patch that arrives.
