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. Ben.
