Dunno me too. Windows allows to eject any hot-unpluggable device to any
user and in the past we got requirement to disable this and had to build
two BIOSes one with cpu hot-plug support another without. So
hot-pluggability of device looks like management decision (along with
technical one if device can't be actually unplugged).
