[PATCH v4 rebase 00/10] Fix cdrom autoclose

From: Michal Suchanek

Hello,

there is cdrom autoclose feature that is supposed to close the tray,
wait for the disc to become ready, and then open the device.

This used to work in ancient times. Then in old times there was a hack
in util-linux which worked around the breakage which probably resulted
from switching to scsi emulation.

Currently util-linux maintainer refuses to merge another hack on the
basis that kernel still has the feature so it should be fixed there.
The code needs not be replicated in every userspace utility like mount
or dd which has no business knowing which devices are CD-roms and where
the autoclose setting is in the kernel.

This is rebase on top of current master.

Also it seems that most people think that this is fix for WMware because
there is one patch dealing with WMware.

This is fix for Linux.

Expected (ca Linux 2.4):

eject
< put CD on tray >
mount /dev/cdrom
...
< cdrom now mounted >

Actual:
mount: /mnt: no medium found on /dev/sr0.

Thanks

Michal
