Confirm. I find some time, and do bisection:
018e0446890661504783f92388ecce7138c1566d is first bad commit
commit 018e0446890661504783f92388ecce7138c1566d

    block: get rid of queue-private command filter

    The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken
    and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code
    and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later
    like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore
    the removed bits.

I revert this commit and in -rc2 k3b can see dvd drive. (some
explanation: I have little different problem; k3b can't see/detect DVD
drive).
