To be honest; it's partially working, or rather it's working in the 
sense that it follows the eld proc file. It's also working in hda-emu.

I've tried it on one Nvidia (with binary drivers), and one Intel 
Graphics and well, and both seem to have the same problem essentially: 
There is no hotplug event coming in (through hdmi_unsol_event) when a 
monitor is removed. But with this patch in perhaps the graphics driver 
writers will feel more motivated to fix it? :-)

Note that the hotplug event is not coming in when you actually plug the 
cable but when you detect displays and/or apply the monitor 
configuration change.

I'm attaching a new version of the patch according to your preference, 
in hopes that it will be in 2.6.40.
