Thomas,
Thanks for pointing this out, while I have some different idea on how to fix
this.
The reason of the core dump is errp already been set in
hotplug_handler_pre_plug(), and this function check acpi hotplug capability.
The order of this check is correct, while we should return when errp is set
in hotplug_handler_pre_plug().
I got a fix like this, which I have tested and looks good to me.
