Yes, it sounds like that is the initial trigger. So somewhere between
3.16 and 4.4 the kernel got better in declaring which disk drives could
be hot-plugged. And the AHCI and (likely) the fakeraid modes potentially
support to hot-plug disks (you could have externally accessible drive
bays). Sometimes the BIOS allows to change the hot-plug support but not
all). If you had that BIOS option that would be a work-around for you.
But probably dmraid should not care about a drive being removable. It
probably was meant to protect against probing USB sticks and/or cdroms.
I don't know for sure. As said on some of the threads you link I would
rather not think of this as a kernel bug. It rather supports the flag
more correctly.
So if something needs to change it probably is dmraid. Unfortunately
that change might have odd consequences in other cases. So I would like
to be careful there.
