cdrom sr ide-cd - CDC_WR, 1999 op x46 GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION

Jens A:

Am I correct to think we/you have no interest in going ahead and merging
into 2.6.1 a purely restructuring patch that supposedly changes no
results?  That is,

1) I should Not construct a patch that does no more than add op x46
GPCMD_GET_CONFIGURATION.

2) Nor should I construct a patch that does no more than add a new
CDC_WR flag to control pass thru of writes without overloading
CDC_DVD_RAM.

Instead I should wait to write such code until After we actually do
dream up a good way to discover, without waiting for the disc to arrive,
that some PDT x05 DVD/CD devices besides DVD-RAM are randomly rewritable
in place.

Right?  That's what I've been doing, without anyone's explicit
agreement, but then suddenly I thought perhaps I should ask Someone With
Change Authority, hi.
