[PATCH] pci: Refuse to hotplug PCI Devices when the Guest OS is not ready

[Marcel Apfelbaum]

From: Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel@redhat.com>

During PCIe Root Port's transition from Power-Off to Power-ON (or vice-versa)
the "Slot Control Register" has the "Power Indicator Control"
set to "Blinking" expressing a "power transition" mode.

Any hotplug operation during the "power transition" mode is not permitted
or at least not expected by the Guest OS leading to strange failures.

Detect and refuse hotplug operations in such case.
