Regular PCI is not Hot-plug. There is a separate Hot-plug spec for PCI, but
most systems are not Hot-plug. If I remember correctly, it pretty much only
affects what's on the motherboard since any generic PCI plug-in card can be
plugged into a Hot-swappable motherboard slot.
As you know, "common" CMOS drivers span a very wide range of drive strengths
(current vs. voltage) and of slew rates, and PCI requirements fall within a
limited subset of those ranges. Yes, some generic ASIC IOs might fall
within this range. But then you need to wonder, why didn't the ASIC vendor
call them PCI-compatible? If he didn't, they probably aren't.
