It was to both but kernel part is not need anymore.

Here is patch for /usr/sbin/supermount. It does add `--' when doing
enable and removes it when doing disable. It does *not* prevent disk
partition being supermounted - the problem is, /usr/bin/supermount does
it for "known" fs types and one of them is vfat. We could

- check for mount point names but it looks kinda silly
- check if drive is removable. That needs some amount of non-trivial
code that I am not willing to write.

Instead it adds -m=<mount-point> parameter so you can do

supermount -m=/mnt/cdrom enable 

which is probably enough (after all, you do know which drives are
removable?)
