Does the sata_sil24 eSATA driver support hot swap?

[Ron Johnson <ron.l.johnson@cox.net>]

Hi,

I've got a Sil3132 esata chip on my AMD 780G mobo, and it (so far) works 
great with a 4-drive external enclosure.  It's just that I've always had 
the enclosure powered on and plugged in when I boot the machine.

But I want to be able to power off the enclosure like with USB and FW 
enclosures.  (No, I haven't tried.  Don't want to fry something expensive.)

Google has been singularly unhelpful.  Perusing the source seems to 
indicate that hot swap is supported, but my C knowledge is old and fragile.

TIA,
Ron
