[PATCH] test for media-change like "popular" OSes..
This patch changes how media-change is detected to use a mechanism more similar to what 'popular' OSes use. The motive for this change is that more and more emulated-SCSI devices (sbp2, usb-storage, etc) don't support START_STOP unless they need it. Other OSes won't send a START_STOP unless the device reports NOT_READY, indicating that it needs an explicit command to start up. One could argue that these devices are out-of-spec, but they are so common that they basically define the de facto spec. Basically, any device that needs a START_STOP should still get it, but ones that don't need it won't.
