One possible fly in the ointment: there are usb-to-pci bridges (and
many other weird things besides), so you can have a pci bus behind a
hot-deteached usb device.  I've seen them get used for USB video cards
among other things.

Trying to deal with these might well lead to otherwise-unnecessary
overengineering, of course, but it's worth mentioning.
