We already have removable devices in the tree. CardBus, PC Card, USB and Firewire. Right now the drivers take liberties and chances and there are a number of ugly races that rear their ugly heads. This is an effort to clean that up and make things totally safe in all the cases that we can think of, and to document those areas where we can't. There's no specific plans on my part to implement the hot plug state transition and deal with it. People have raised their hands in the past to work on it, but so far no one has made significant progress in public view. Warner
