Since As of 2.6.23 there is generic bay support in the ACPI driver,
maybe you don't need the thinkpad-acpi bay support anymore. This is not
a real solution, but it could be that you don't need to worry about a
solution when you just use the generic bay support.

See "using the generic bay driver and udev" on
