Piggy-back on the guest CD-ROM polling to poll on the host. Open and close the host CD-ROM file descriptor to ensure we read the new size and not a stale size.
Two things are going on here: 1. If hald/udisks is not already polling CD-ROMs on the host then re-opening the CD-ROM causes the host to read the new medium's size. 2. There is a bug in Linux which means the CD-ROM file descriptor must be re-opened in order for lseek(2) to see the new size. The inode size gets out of sync with the underlying device (which you can confirm by checking that /sys/block/sr0/size and lseek(2) do not match after media change). I have raised this with the maintainers but we need a workaround for the foreseeable future. Note that these changes are all in a #ifdef __linux__ section.
