I've run 'bisect'  and found out commit which has broken  'undock' support on
my Lenovo:

commit 8ab0ab2570cfc48303e545944f53690a6983a898
Author: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 23 01:30:26 2012 +0200

     ACPI: dock: Remove redundant ACPI NS walk

     Combined two ACPI namespace walks, which look for dock stations
     and then bays separately, into a single walk.

After doin plain revert of this commit undock 'support' is back -
I've tested this with 3.9-rc1  (though on this kernel it seems wifi is
again horribly broken for now)

Any idea about proper fix here ?
