Removable media devices will never update the data/links/db if the media
is changed, even when the device is polled, as we never see events again
for the disk device. We can not do that for disks today, only for
partitions.

It will be partly fixed by new "change" events we added to the kernel
recently, but it's work-in-progress and still a lot of work to do.

2.5.25 will have scsi_device events for sr*/sd* devices, so we can
enable non-formatted disk probing for the most commonly used stuff soon.
