Ok, I suspect what this may be, and I'll disable it, hopefully
producing a cleaner log.

Is this it? dfbb5d80 1845367929 C Bi:6:002:1 0 13 = 55534253 acc90100
00000000 00

Any idea who may be sending this? I mean,  can this be send via a
simple IOCTL to /dev/sr0 or it is something else?
Maybe stracing the program would be a good idea.

If I were to place a trace inside a driver, were would it be better?
sr_mod, sd_mod, usb-storage, cdrom? or somewhere else?

Thank you
