------- Comment #6 from nm127@xxxxxxxxxxx  2008-09-21 23:54 -------
In case of a list of devices which reports "tray" and cannot close the door I
could imagine a list which is marked with __initdata and only in the memory
when the module is loading. (This is not the case for the current
ide_cd_quirks_list[] in drivers/ide/ide-cd.c .)

I don't know if similar structure to Desktop Management Interface (DMI,
http://www.dmtf.org/standards/dmi/ ) already exists for IDE. The interface (
linux/dmi.h ) is used several points of the kernel when the task is to identify
a motherboard or BIOS version.

In case you close the door and try to lock and read sense data there could be a
problem when there is no media in the drive. In this case I'm not sure that you
can lock the door at all.
