Hrm... that's not a very sane approach. You have some infrastructure for
adding / removing devices, in fact changes things in that area even, and
not a single piece of HW to exercise those code path ? I don't ask you
to get a powermac with a media-bay, but ide_cs seems to be a pretty
important one that's part of what the ide maintainer should take care
of... And I suspect it's going to exercise the same code path as
mediabay.
