something I noted when readin our acpi code:
we currently pass eject request for function 0 only:
               Name (_ADR, nr##0000)
We either need a device per function there (acpi 1.0),
send eject request for them all, or use ffff
as function number (newer acpi, not sure which version).
Need to see which guests (windows,linux) can handle which form.

We must make sure guest acked removal of all functions. Surprise
removal would be bad.

You get ffffffff if no device responds to a configuration read.
