    Recent versions of udev always keep the tray locked so that the kernel
    can observe "eject request" events (aka tray button presses) even on
    discs that aren't mounted.  Add support for these events in the ATAPI
    and SCSI cd drive device models.
    
    To let management cope with the behavior of udev, an event should also
    be added for "tray opened/closed".  This way, after issuing an "eject"
    command, management can poll until the guests actually reacts to the
    command.  They can then issue the "change" command after the tray has been
    opened, or try with "eject -f" after a (configurable?) timeout.  However,
    with this patch and the corresponding support in the device models,
    at least it is possible to do a manual two-step eject+change sequence.
