I should've explain myself better. Yes, I can eject the dvd and use the
battery (at least, I think I can using ibm-acpi), but losing DMA when
putting the dvd back is a big problem if I want to watch a movie or
something. In practice, one needs to reboot, I think.

Do have any idea if this is something the kernel guys are working on
fixing?

Thanks for your answer,
