Hey, thanks for the output. Now that we know there is a mechanism for conveying this data, I'm tempted to

 1. Make udev's usb_id set a ID_USB_HOTPLUGGABLE property by analyzing
    the hub descriptors. Then take this property into account when
    calculating the CanDetach property.

 2. Fix/quirk broken hardware like the Dell Mini with simple udev rules
    that can override ID_USB_HOTPLUGGABLE.

    Also notify Dell (and others) of this problem so it won't happen
    in the future.
