I don't know - this is something I am trying to look into, but don't
really have the equipment to test right now.  ASAIK, minimally you will
need to have the very latest libata stuff that includes some kind of
hotplug capability (I've copied the linux-ide list in case they can
answer this question).  I don't know if this is actually in -mm or in
some separate tree.  I'd like to work with you on making this work if
you are willing - hopefully it will "Just Work", but if not perhaps we
can figure out what needs to be done.

Thanks,
Kristen
