I thought you were going to mention needing to
integrate the current PCI HotSwap framework
more fully within Linux 2.4!
Examples:
- USB HCDs should use 'struct pci_driver'
to support Cardbus, HotSwap PCI, and
eventually better configuration tools;
- Heck, Cardbus bridges should use that API.
Improve that suspend/resume ordering!
- And shouldn't USB device drivers also have
an opportunity to hook PCI suspend/resume
processing at the right points too? They
already have hooks mirroring probe/remove
functionality in the PCI framework ...
Maybe such Linux 2.4 PCI-specific and USB-specific
hotplugging stuff fits under "4.3 Any more?".
I would also either look more at networking. Or else
motivate a new definition of hotswapping which doesn't
include someone adding a new PC to the office LAN, and
then having it autoconfigure so invisibly that you were
reading files from it before you knew the box existed!
(The systems problems are the same: classic. :-)
