You are correct.
i can see events_poll_msecs when I change my kernel to 3.8.0
But the device still disconnect.
I have some question.
1. when I cat /sys/block/sdX/events, I get the answer as media_change.
is there any events type we can choose, such as read capability or inquiry.

2. the open device you mean is like open(/dev/sda1)?
