I checked with udevmonitor - you're correct, it's the kernel that's wrong.
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/76b6e9e72539cbcf/f1df76d875bc6920?lnk=st&q=group%3Alinux.kernel+is_flash&rnum=2#f1df76d875bc6920
sheds a bit more light on this. I've applied the patch, and it works in my
situation - a far saner number of udev events get generated. Although if I'm
still using a mounted filesystem on the card when it ejects, there are usually
kernel oopses rendering the whole ide system a bit unusable - I'll save this
for another bug about making ide more robust :-)
I'm slightly curious as to why this fairly old patch didn't make it into the
kernel.
