This one's my fault. I didn't realise that bit got exposed to userspace
like that. James, do you want a replacement patch for the bad one, or
an incremental one which restores the old spelling?
BTW, the SCSI specs changed the name from CD-ROM to CD/DVD. I'd like to
reflect that change in /proc/scsi/scsi; is there any userspace currently
relying on that spelling?
