I think you're right.  Here's my current dmesg:

usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
scsi4 : usb-storage 1-4:1.0
scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access              Flash Disk       5.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] 2009088 512-byte logical blocks: (1.02 GB/981 MiB)
sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Removable disk, Write Protect is off
 sdb: unknown partition table

That actually makes the patchset slightly simpler; before:
