  Thanks for the patch but as you properly mention in the comment, such CDs
are rather broken. Proper way to mount them would be to use 'norock' mount
option (which is essentially manual equivalent of your patch). So I'd
prefer to not introduce this workaround into the kernel. Or do you have
some good reason why kernel should handle this?
