No. The current patches only trigger when a _root_ bridge is hot-added, not a PCI to PCI bridge (which is what the docking station is). The code to support p2p bridge hotplug will benefit from these patches but more code is needed to support that. > Does it rescan the DSDT to find new additions to ACPI devices ? > It scans the ACPI namespace under the root bridge that was added. Any pci devices underneath are scanned and added, but there isn't any code to look for non-PCI devices there.
