Hook to acpi events, directly or through acpid.

No udev support until someone fixes the generic ACPI dock/bay driver to also
handle non-ACPI dock/bays...

This might be available somewhere in the ACPI DSDT or in the EC register

register that changes when you're docked/undocked, and that should help me
locate the stuff in the DSDT/SSDTs.
