Another thing: if a card is already in the slot before pciehp is loaded

You mean that the existing code does not handle it properly.
The hardware can see the card just fine, as reflected in the slot
status bits.
One other thing to note here, the proper operation of hot plug dictates that
if you boot your laptop with no adapter in the slot, you must first load
the driver in order for the new adapter interrupt to be captured. So,
if you insert a card without the driver loaded, it will not be enumerated
by PCI until you remove it and the reinsert it.
Bull puckey.
If there's already a card in the slot when we turn on the power,
the Linux kernel should find and use that card.
This is flawed, and needs fixing.
