+    <body>
+      <p>A new implementation for support of native PCI-express
+	hotplug is present at the URL above.  Much of the new code
+	lives in the PCI-PCI bridge driver to handle hotplug events
+	and manage the PCI-express slot registers.  Additional changes
+	in the branch include adding new 'rescan' and 'delete'
+	commands to <tt>devctl(8)</tt> as well as support for
+	rescanning PCI busses.</p>
+
+      <p>The current implementation has been tested on systems with
+	ExpressCard but could use additional testing, especially on
+	systems with other PCI-express HotPlug features such as
+	mechanical latches, attention buttons, indicators, etc.</p>
