Guys,

Here is an interesting blog from Lenovo talking about the dock design change
http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=290

Basically these docks do not have any features like PCI devices/slots, 
Ultrabay and such. And all the ports on the Dock are visible in the OS 
regardless if your docked or not, so no new devices are added on dock 
(other then a USB hub).

As such I don't think it is really necessary to fully emulate a dock, 
all that should be needed are some events for userspace.

Here are the various series 3 specs;
