The point is to do this at discovery time. If you do it later then many horrible things happen as the device
then "hdc=ide-cdrom" at a boot time should keep ide-scsi from binding to hdc for all cases (builtin/modular ide-cd/ide-scsi)
names and renames itself while udev goes boom.
Uh? I hope that udev people are informed about these horrible things... /dev/hdc stays there all the time /dev/sr? addition/removal should be handled by udev otherwise it looks like a udev bug
Its a small clean patch and it'll solve the problem nicely until drivers/ide dies.
No strong feelings here about the patch. It is indeed a clean hack. ;) I just wanted to point out that there are already more flexible ways to achieve the same thing.
