See :), as I understand it, there is no support in the SCSI cd driver
for this, its supposed to be handeled by the "changer" device which
reacts to ioctl commands (can you spell ugly)..

I like phk's idea (and my inital thought), of the driver allocating
so many minors as the device supports slots, and then let the
driver shuffle the CD's as needed...
