    Nothing current, but there was a thread a on LKML a while ago about such race
    conditions - a stuttering device could generate a large backlog of insert/eject
    events, which could get out of sync with the current reality.
    
    Then there was the whole "we need to recognize zillions of disks in a few
    fractions of a second" thread, which actually is relevant here because it's the
    same basic problem of userspace callbacks...
    
    (Having said that, I still think a userspace callback is probably a better idea
    unless you *really* know what you're doing. ;)
