Heh, hotunplug of device trees done properly has NOT been around a long time
in Linux :-(  Just like resume from suspend to disk done properly still
doesn't exist (init the ACPI firmware twice?  No wonder it croaks on so many
systems...)

It should work with a very NEW kernel (certainly no older than 2.6.27) if
userspace doesn't screw up.  Basically, you need to umount any storage that
is in the dock and inside devices in the dock, then tell the notebook to
eject the dock writing "1" to the correct node in
/sys/bus/platform/devices/dock.*/undock
