The Ultra Bay is most certainly hot-swappable, but it requires that
the system send BIOS a request to disable the drive bay before you can
remove any device. 

I suspect the code would be trivial if documentation was available on
the API. IBM is very Linux friendly and has provided that sort of
information in the past for Linux development. While they typically
won't acknowledge the existence of FreeBSD, the information we need
might be out there. Might require some munging on apm.c but should be
possible from a modified atacontrol.
