So we should be able to capture such a event. In this case there's no need to poll for disk change unless the button has been pressed. > I'm thinking of enabling this GPE in sr_suspend once we decided that it > is ready to be powered off, so the time frame between sr_suspend and > when the power is actually removed in libata should be taken care of by > the GPE.

Just enable it when you detect the presence of a disk drive that supports it. Furthermore we have a device which can detect that a button has been pressed. It is fundamentally wrong to poll for medium change in such devices. You know that it hasn't been changed. We should notify the upper layers that we can do medium change detection on our own.
