The patch doesn't look like too much of a hack, pretty clean implementation in support of a hot-swap of an adapter using ACPI hooks. It is not specific to x86 platforms. I'd prefer that it looked more like a suspend/resume interface rather than a raw ACPI event. There needs to be a power management interface to SCSI and to the LLD's in support of hot-swap of PCI attached devices. Otherwise you are asking for the driver to be blindsided on any platform that supports this necessary service feature.
