Hm. The hardware I have here has a separate "eject request" button and
"physical eject" button. Hitting the former sends the request to the OS,
and the light then pulses until the OS confirms that the dock can be
removed. If the user removes the dock before this happens, that's user
error. Unfortunately, the hardware in question doesn't contain a bay.
The only dock I have with no request button doesn't present as an ACPI
dock to begin with. Do Thinkpad docks differ from this?
