    Yes, that would be what it is, and why.

    I would vote that the sd stop-on-shutdown patch should go in, and
    possibly with the new behavior enabled by default. Surely the number of
    people running Linux on a laptop (or any other system with load/unload
    head technology drives) is much greater than the number of people
    running a SAN, multi-initiator, etc. environment where you might not
    want this..
