With this kernel tree, ata_piix warmplug works perfectly with ICH6 on ThinkPad T43. At long last, I can now switch between the UltraBay DVD drive and UltraBay HDD without rebooting! On this machine the command for disabling the port is # echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/1\:0\:0\:0/device/delete
On ThinkPads, before pulling out the drive you also need to run # echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay to electrically shut down the UltraBay PATA port. This interface is provided by the ibm-acpi module.
