But if we had a new flag, like expecting_media_change, you could set
that in resume and we could condition the above test in the code on it
and reset it and do a retry if it gets set.  I'm not saying we have to
do it this way, but it sounds like we have to do something in the
kernel, so I think the flag will become necessary but there might be a
bit of policy based dance around how it gets set in the kernel (to
avoid losing accurate media change events).
