The frankenbox I'm testing on is a retrofitted 1U (it had a scsi 
backplane, now has none).

I am not certain, but I think with 8.1 (which it's running) and all the 
cam integration stuff, hotplug is possible.  Is a special backplane 
required?  I seriously don't know...  I'm going to give it a shot though.

Oh, you also might get NCQ.  Try:

[root@h21 /tmp]# camcontrol tags ada0
(pass0:ahcich0:0:0:0): device openings: 32
