If your hardware supports PATA hotplug (most doesn't) then you can tell
the kernel to remove the device, pull it, add a new one and tell the
kernel to rescan (exactly as you do with any other scsi device).
Autodetect support right now is only in the SATA side and afaik no PATA
controller supports PATA hot plug autodetect.
