    [PATCH] acpiphp: add dock event handling · 20416ea5
    Kristen Accardi authored
    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.
