Hi, David.

I might be misreading, but isn't it more like the following?

    some_machine_device_plug(hotplug_dev, dev) {
        if (object_dynamic_cast(OBJECT(dev), TYPE_SOME_BUS_DEVICE)) {
            /* do machine specific initialization */
            some_machine_init_special_device(dev)
        } else {
            /* pass control to bus specific handler */
            hotplug_handler_plug(dev->parent_bus->hotplug_handler, dev)
        }
    }
