We could 'quirk' it, but it would quirk the other way -- most devices
properly report media change.  Otherwise we'd be listing almost all devices
in the quirk table.

The problem is that this is a pretty serious problem.... if it doesn't
work, all sorts of things fail.  We kinda have to assume the worst, given
the distribution of devices in existance.
