But that's possible now with "eject -s" as long as you have write access
to it. Most users are using "eject -s" anyway.

You can't stop this from happening. However, the fact is that a lot of
devices (iPod's being the most popular) require this to work.

Here's the patch. Currently it will not even try the
ALLOW_MEDIUM_REMOVAL unless they have write access (to avoid returning
an uneeded error for people using eject -r that isn't patched to open
the device O_RDRW). However, I still changed the __blk_send_generic()
function to use verify_command().
