I've noticed that the IBM hotplug driver (and other drivers) are no longer using the pre_visit and post_visit functions. Are these general hotplug functions going to be deprecated?

Prarit.

As only the cpci drivers in the 2.6 kernel use them (and that's only because no one has gotten around to converting them) they will probably go away some day, whenever that driver gets cleaned up.

Why do you feel you need these functions? No modern pci hotplug driver needs to use them anymore which lends me to believe they are not necessary anymore.

Oh, and there's a pci hotplug specific mailing list that questions like this one would be more on-topic for. I suggest you use that one next time.

thanks,
