Re[2]: Wakeup from a PCI device

[Bruce Young <Bruce_Young@ccm.jf.intel.com>]

Text item: 

I have talked about this with the Hot Plug group a little bit but they are still
looking at how it might be useful. I will defer to them on exactly what 
mechanisms they are putting in place and how this pin would be used.

Bruce:
     
I'll chime in here on this thread.  What relationship or involvement 
will the wake-up pin have with the hot-swap (live insertion)  PCI 
efforts underway in the SIG?  It seems that the wake-up pin could 
serve the purpose of notifying an OS that a new board has been 
inserted into the system for hot swap boards.
