Yes, as I mentioned in a previous discussion, sometime after 2.4.0, I would like to see CONFIG_HOTPLUG replaced with CONFIG_PCI_HOTPLUG with __pci{init,exit}{,data}, and CONFIG_USB_HOTPLUG with __usb{init,exit}{,data} and likewise for other busses, since these facilities are completely independent, and there are reasons for wanting to compile in one facility compiled in and not the others, and it would make drivers self-document which hotplug facility is the reason why something should be marked as __dev{init,exit}{,data}.
