Subject: PCI-PCI bridge hot swap

I'm looking for information regarding hot swap/power cycling  of a PCI-PCI
bridge.  Specifically, I'm looking for the ability to power down an entire
expansion bus (intel 21150 bridge chip plus several slots) and repower after
changing plug-in cards in the expansion side.  I've taken a cursory look at
the PCI/cPCI specs and haven't found anything specific to this scenario.
Any pointers to the hardware and software implications of this would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.
