wow, thanks for that. Indeed my first tests succeed with the below
change, that doesn't use the error-path additions at all (not setting
expecting_media_change), and sends a request sense instead.

I'm just too little of a scsi developer that I know whether the below
change correctly does what you had in mind. Does it?
