thanks for the hint.
I still have a question: in docs/pci_expander_bridge.txt, it says: 
create a TYPE_PCI_BRIDGE_DEV to enable hotplug support.
But I didn`t see it can hotplug as following step:

1: ./qemu-system-x86_64 -device pxb,id=br,bus=pci.0,bus_nr=2 -hda 
linux.img -smp 2 --enable-kvm -m 1024 -monitor stdio

2: in monitor, type: device_add e1000,bus=br
result: no message output to monitor, and don`t see e1000 nic in guest

Is is a bug or I test it in a wrong way?
