This isn't a soft raid problem, it's a SCSI layer issue:
(from the HOWTO)
"Hot-swapping with SCA

With SCA, it should be possible to hot-plug devices. However, I don't 
have the hardware to try this out, and I haven't heard from anyone who's 
tried, so I can't really give any recipe on how to do this.

If you want to play with this, you should know about SCSI and RAID 
internals anyway. So I'm not going to write something here that I can't 
verify works, instead I can give a few clues:

    * Grep for remove-single-device in linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c
    * Take a look at raidhotremove and raidhotadd
"
