Gunther --

Your patch is out of date. But yesterday I posted practically the
same patch for the workaround using the current kernel defines. This patch
was tested across multiple platforms and devices and shown to work.
(caveat -- one cdrw is still having issues, but that is orthagonal to the
patch)

Also, the unusual_devs.h device definition will not work. See my
patch for the multiple devices and their different requirements.
Your patch would break nearly everybody's equipment.

do not apply gunther's patch, please.
