All replies so far indicate that this behaviour only happens for systems using
ide-cd/ide-core, i.e. the old IDE subsystem.

The code also makes assumptions (see the is_cdrom check) that only the new
libata subsystem is in use, so the cd-rom drive is opened with the wrong flags
causing the drive to be retracted when it is polled.
