Yeah, sure.  I wanted to make sure the approach is agreed on before
going forward with the rest of changes.  It's not like we have a lot
of .media_changed in the kernel anyway.  The only problem is that some
drivers are quite obscure at this point and would be pretty difficult
to verify, but then again if nobody can noticie the breakage, maybe
it's not broken at all.  Once things settle down, I'll go ahead with
the rest of the conversion.

Thanks.
