For AHCI, all controllers support hotplug.
Most SATA controllers support hotplug, across all vendors.
If you're lucky, silicon has a phy interrupt. If you're somewhat lucky,
silicon has a PhyRdy state interrupt. If you're stuck with a BMDMA
interface with bolted-on SATA PHY registers, hotplug will -probably- work.

The interrupt is quite helpful, but ultimately optional.
