Dock *could* be made to handle both. It appears some systems haven't a dock but a bay. In a thinkpad, you could hotplug cdrom/battery/harddisk in the slot of cdrom, but it's not a dock. libata should handle it well (but it doesn't handle _EJ0 currently, I have a patch in above bugzilla). But you are right, acpi dock driver should be extended to support bay. I'll give it a try.
