Q35 has three different types of PCI devices hot-plug: PCIe Native,
SHPC Native and ACPI hot-plug. This patch changes the default choice
for cold-plugged bridges from PCIe Native to ACPI Hot-plug with
ability to use SHPC and PCIe Native for hot-plugged bridges.

This is a list of the PCIe Native hot-plug issues that led to this
change:
    * no racy behavior during boot (see 110c477c2ed)
    * no delay during deleting - after the actual power off software
      must wait at least 1 second before indicating about it. This case
      is quite important for users, it even has its own bug:
          https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1594168
    * no timer-based behavior - in addition to the previous example,
      the attention button has a 5-second waiting period, during which
      the operation can be canceled with a second press. While this
      looks fine for manual button control, automation will result in
      the need to queue or drop events, and the software receiving
      events in all sort of unspecified combinations of attention/power
      indicator states, which is racy and uppredictable.
    * fixes:
        * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1752465
        * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1690256

To return to PCIe Native hot-plug:

I personally think the best of all worlds is to have as default:
 - Native PCIe hotplug for pcie-root-ports
 - ACPI hotplug for devices behind PCI bridges (pcie-pci bridge or pci-pci
bridge).

Having ACPI hotplug *as default* for pcie-root-ports seems weird even
if it solves existing bugs (we should solve them...).

I am not against having a property to force ACPI hotplug even for pcie
root-ports,
just not being the default. It doesn't have to  be part of this series, it
can be a patch on
top.

I would leave APCI hotplug as an option and not as the default, giving us
time to test it,
come up with a fix for the pcie-hotplug race and a patch for allowing ACPI
hotplug
only for the bridges.

Thanks,
Marcel
