PCIe hotplug doesn't have separate Link Down and Link Up interrupts,
there is only a Link State *Changed* event.

I was referring to the situation with my recently posted pciehp patches
applied, in particular patch [21/32] ("PCI: pciehp: Become resilient to
missed events"):
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/930389/

When I get a presence or link changed event, I turn the slot off.  That
includes removing all devices in the slot.  Because even if the slot is
still occupied or link is up, there was definitely a change and the safe
behavior is to assume that the card in the slot is now a different one
than before.

Afterwards, I check if the slot is occupied or link is up.  If either
of those conditions is true, I try to bring the slot up again.

Thanks,
