Certainly. I could use it to trigger an insertion/extraction event at any time. 
You could also list this mock peripheral board by "lspci" after it was inserted.
I just implement the HotSwap part of the mock peripheral board, and you could 
let it be any device you want.
This simulator is based on FITH. FITH provides ability to intercept and 
inject faults into any PIO/MMIO access or IRQ handler. Hence we could emulate a 
real device easily by intercept serval PIO/MMIO/IRQ.
