Backporting bay from git HEAD in the kernel showed that it
wasn't actually grabbing the device properly, something
else was (the ide layer I think).
I heard some important patches against libata went into
2.6.26, so I tried that -
and it worked! undocking and redocking was fine. This time,
I didn't have a /dev/hdc since apparently libata grabbed
all the devices, my hdd and dvd were rebadged sda and sr0.
I've heard some reports on linux-thinkpad that a HDD in the
bay doesn't work properly with 2.6.26. I'll see if I can
find out more.
Based on this, so far, I'm thinking:
<eject request received>
kernel 2.6.26?
honour it
else:
bay present?
deny it
else:
honour it
