Guys,
Here is an interesting blog from Lenovo talking about the dock design change
http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=290
Basically these docks do not have any features like PCI devices/slots,
Ultrabay and such. And all the ports on the Dock are visible in the OS
regardless if your docked

FYI, these newer series 3 "docks" no longer register themselves as a
dock through ACPI. Instead they function more like port replicators.
As such I think the HKEY event is just a way to detect a dock/undock
event which can be used to trigger things like re-configuring the displays.

When hot docking a ThinkPad T410 on a "ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3"
while running kernel 2.6.34.6, I get the following;
Sep 7 20:57:13 t410 kernel: thinkpad_acpi: EC reports that Thermal
Table has changed
Sep 7 20:57:13 t410 kernel: thinkpad_acpi: unhandled HKEY event 0x4010
