The basic logic here seems fine.

However, I'm not really convinced that a "powerpc generic" device
makes sense here.  Given the diversity of powerpc platforms, it's
pretty plausible they could have very different restrictions about how
hotplug needs to operate.

So, I think it would make more sense to go for more specific devices
that either represent real hardware chips / modules, or something else
that makes sense for a specific platform.  So, in the first instance a
"PAPR virtual module" device.

It would make sense to have that derive from a more-or-less generic
base class with essentially the logic below, since even if we have
significantly different variants they're likely to share the basic
logic.  But I don't think that base type should be directly
instantiable.

Of course, once that's the case, there's really nothing ppc specific
about the base device either.
