Thanks for looking at this.
So either we need a BIOS update for this platform so that other
operating systems can work properly (i.e. full ACPI hotplug support), or
we write a new hotplug driver to handle this hardware properly.
Intel was rumored to have this working in their labs, I'll poke some
people to see if they have anything they can release...
thanks,
