We've had a CDIOCEJECT ioctl `forever'. Several drivers support
it, such as cd, acd, and wfd. However, there are other drivers
that support removable media but do not support CDIOCEJECT: da
and sa.
Likewise we have CDIOCCLOSE which should cause a device to load
its media.
I want to add these ioctls to da and sa [1]. I don't like the CDIO
name, though. I'd like to give these ioctls a different name. I'm not
sure what header file might be appropriate for them. I'd like to keep
the new ioctls binary-compatible with CDIOC(EJECT|CLOSE)-- i.e. use
ioctls 24 & 28.
Or maybe I'm the only one who wouldn't like to invoke the name
CDIOCEJECT to unload a tape :-)
Thanks,

[1] Are there other drivers which should support media load/eject, that
do not already? Do any systems have system-ejectable PC cards for
example (never seen such myself)?
