IMO it does not make sense to create a new ehci-hotplug file that will
only ever contain one test. Collecting all HCD hotplug tests into one
hcd-hotplug file, as Gerd suggested, would be fine with me. We'll still
need your hci-{ohci,uhci,xhci} files for functional (PCI/MMIO) tests and
what I referred to as "cold-plug" or init testing though.

Can't tell what Gerd had in mind for hcd hotplug sharing, but I was
thinking of some wrappers for the device_add and device_del commands.
Not sure if that makes sense in practice. Probably best start without
such a header and later we can see if there is much recurring code to be
factored out.

Andreas
