It's a bit unlikely to be the cause of a regression, since the code has
behaved this way by design since at least 2.4.  The problem we're
looking for appeared in 2.6.25+

Also, the taxonomy of the regression: errors returned within 10s of
inserting the CD sounds very much like an ignored NOT_READY.

Really, no ... not until there's a proveable problem caused by it.  Even
then, not like this: the way you've coded it interferes with the cc_ua
processing code.  It would have to go in scsi_decide_disposition().
