effects: without fix the problem, user can not use pcie native hotplug
if their system's firmware support acpihp and pciehp.
And make it worse, that acpiphp have to be built-in, so they have no
way to blacklist acpiphp in config.

We need to address regression at first.
my suggestion is : revert the reverting and apply my -v3 version that will fix
regression that Roman Yepishev met.

please check attached two patches, hope it could save your some time.
