Every laptop I have access to, whether it's SATA or PATA, fires an ACPI 
notification when a drive is removed from a bay. The ICH5 case is 
probably somewhat special-cased, but when we move over to driving PATA 
with libata it's going to be a lot more useful. If ICH6 can be managed 
without resorting to ACPI, it's less necessary in the short term, but I 
think PATA support is going to require it in the end anyway (especially 
since we probably want to call the _GTM and _STM methods on PATA 
devices)
