I can't speak to ATAPI/IDE devices, but it is possible (at least according to my rusty memory of writing SCSI drivers in the early 90s) for the SCSI device to send a command block to the host to tell it that it's eject button has been pressed. You just need to bubble this up the driver chain. It would, however require some interlocking---no FTP sessions when you eject it, etc. If you'd like, I can dig out my SCSI command references and find the information.
