Originally I thought so too but I did some testing with booting with the cdrom
drive tray open and it did quite spam the logs:

so maybe this was the reason for filtering out the pc requests - scream
only if it really matters. For example this is what happens when you
eject the drive while playing a dvd:

The question now is: does it really matter to say something when all
those udev helpers and the SMART daemon try to query the device during
booting and it is NOT_READY? I'm tending towards a solution where we
don't say anything - after you close the tray you still get rescanned
together with receiving a bunch of udev events into the queue so I'm not
worried about those requests at all. The way it is done now is IMHO the
most reasonable solution wrt to verbosity based on error gravity. This
is why I left it in.
And since it is the original behavior I didn't add anything to the
commit messages but it probably could be a good idea the acknowledge
the existence of that blk_fs_request(rq) check there with a comment or
similar.
