These patches add generic dock event handling to acpiphp. If there are
pci devices that need to be inserted/removed after the dock event, the
event notification will be handed down to the normal pci hotplug event
handler in acpiphp so that new bridges/devices can be enumerated.
Because some dock stations do not have pci bridges or pci devices that
need to be inserted after a dock, acpiphp will remain loaded to handle
dock events even if no hotpluggable pci slots are discovered.
You probably need to have the pci=assign-busses kernel parameter enabled
to use these patches, and you may not allow ibm_acpi to handle docking
notifications and use this patch.
This patch incorporates feedback provided by many.
