Yeah.. I just haven't run into any instances after bumping it up to 5s that
wouldn't work.  But I don't really care, so maybe I'll switch it back.

Okay but how do you remount the device after doing the eject?  As in, what
commands do you use?  (I honestly don't know.)

Kernel memory is a precious resource; it cannot be swapped out or used by
anything else in the kernel once allocated, so IMHO even a 512 byte buffer 
shouldn't stick around more than we need it to.  Kmalloc will generally 
return dead buffers from the size-512 slab cache without having to do an 
alloc anyway.

Ok, maybe:

if (seq == 0) seq = 1;

Cool.
