On starting k3b seems to use 'safe for reading' commands and 'safe for 
writing' command 0x55 (mode_select?) to test the drive function. file->f_mode 
is returning with 0x0d during 'safe for writing' command.

growisofs also is returning file->f_mode as 0x0d with any 'safe for writing' 
command if I disable the line and allow k3b to run and burn dvd and just 
printk the cmd and file->f_mode values ... 

I believe FMODE_WRITE is 0x02  tho don't know where that is defined... If this 
bit not set does it mean the device is opened for reading? during a burn? 
Sorry, I'm very new to this... but do notice that cdrecord returnes 0x0f 
which does have the bit set correctly...
