Mostly because sr_open() does not make any calls into the host driver,
which makes it impossible to claim any resources on open.
I've concocted another patch, which includes my previous one and
implements Mikael's idea somewhat more consistently. It adds another
option, "noscsi", so that by saying hdX=noscsi on the kernel command line
the user can prevent the ide-scsi driver from ever claiming that drive.
So:
- by default it's first come, first served
- hdX=scsi means only the ide-scsi driver can claim hdX
- hdX=noscsi means the ide-scsi driver must not claim hdX ever
Sounds good? If so, please apply, it makes many CDR users' lives easier.
Thanks,
Ion
