Have you seen this patch? Are those changes incorporated?
  http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=121129188316720&w=2

What are the advantages against just letting libata-acpi doing the _EJ0?

I gave your patch set a short test and have encountered the following
issues:

 1. No uevent on a ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST giving no chance to userspace
    to clean up filesystems etc.

 2. When a bay device is removed, the device (e.g. /dev/sr0) stays visible
    for userspace, even after accessing it and getting a rescan and
     'klogd: ata5.00: disabled'
