Not really.  We remove as much as we can and leave it up to the hotplug
scripts to detach the mount point (any further I/O's will error).

If there's a reattachment udev should identify the device (even if it's
on a different node) and do the right thing.

Essentially in 2.6 resolution of this problem is pushed up to the user
as a policy decision.
