Yes.
I'm wrinting a code now.
My first goal is to support dynamic assignment of PCI interrupt.
It is required to support CardBus.
Final goal is to support CompactPCI.
A CompactPCI device is dinamically inserted/removed like a PC Card.
I think we need to assign PCI resource(interrupt, bus number, etc...)
on the fly to support a CompactPCI and other Hot-plug PCI devices.
#Maybe, Docking Station is a Hot-plug device.
