+Contributions are solicited in particular to remedy the following issues:
+
+cpcihp:
+
+* There are no implementations of the ->hardware_test, ->get_power and
+  ->set_power callbacks in struct cpci_hp_controller_ops.  Why were they
+  introduced?  Can they be removed from the struct?
+
+cpqphp:
+
+* The driver spawns a kthread cpqhp_event_thread() which is woken by the
+  hardirq handler cpqhp_ctrl_intr().  Convert this to threaded IRQ handling.
+  The kthread is also woken from the timer pushbutton_helper_thread(),
+  convert it to call irq_wake_thread().  Use pciehp as a template.
+
+* A large portion of cpqphp_ctrl.c and cpqphp_pci.c concerns resource
+  management.  Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?
+
+ibmphp:
+
+* Implementations of hotplug_slot_ops callbacks such as get_adapter_present()
+  in ibmphp_core.c create a copy of the struct slot on the stack, then perform
+  the actual operation on that copy.  Determine if this overhead is necessary,
+  delete it if not.  The functions also perform a NULL pointer check on the
+  struct hotplug_slot, this seems superfluous.
+
+* Several functions access the pci_slot member in struct hotplug_slot even
+  though pci_hotplug.h declares it private.  See get_max_bus_speed() for an
+  example.  Either the pci_slot member should no longer be declared private
+  or ibmphp should store a pointer to its bus in struct slot.  Probably the
+  former.
+
+* The functions get_max_adapter_speed() and get_bus_name() are commented out.
+  Can they be deleted?  There are also forward declarations at the top of
+  ibmphp_core.c as well as pointers in ibmphp_hotplug_slot_ops, likewise
+  commented out.
+
+* ibmphp_init_devno() takes a struct slot **, it could instead take a
+  struct slot *.
+
+* The return value of pci_hp_register() is not checked.
+
+* The various slot data structures are difficult to follow and need to be
+  simplified.  A lot of functions are too large and too complex, they need
+  to be broken up into smaller, manageable pieces.  Negative examples are
+  ebda_rsrc_controller() and configure_bridge().
+
+* A large portion of ibmphp_res.c and ibmphp_pci.c concerns resource
+  management.  Doesn't this duplicate functionality in the core?
+
+sgi_hotplug:
+
+* Several functions access the pci_slot member in struct hotplug_slot even
+  though pci_hotplug.h declares it private.  See sn_hp_destroy() for an
+  example.  Either the pci_slot member should no longer be declared private
+  or sgi_hotplug should store a pointer to it in struct slot.  Probably the
+  former.
+
+shpchp:
+
+* There is only a single implementation of struct hpc_ops.  Can the struct be
+  removed and its functions invoked directly?  This has already been done in
+  pciehp with commit 82a9e79ef132 ("PCI: pciehp: remove hpc_ops").  Clarify
+  if there was a specific reason not to apply the same change to shpchp.
+
+* The ->get_mode1_ECC_cap callback in shpchp_hpc_ops is never invoked.
+  Why was it introduced?  Can it be removed?
+
+* The hardirq handler shpc_isr() queues events on a workqueue.  It can be
+  simplified by converting it to threaded IRQ handling.  Use pciehp as a
+  template.
