What guest OS are you using?
Currently "pci-removed" is only written in response of an eject command
from the guest OS, that means that if the guest doesn't support pci
hotplug the value won't be written.
If you are using Linux you should make sure that the acpiphp module is
loaded, if you are using Windows, I think the only version that supports
pci hotplug is Windows Server 2008 but I might be wrong.
