So you want such disks to behave more like USB sticks?  If there was
a good way to mark certain devices or a device tree as "volatile"
then this would be an interesting RFE.  I would certainly not want
*all* of my disks to "come and go as they please". :-)

I am not sure how feasible an implementation would be though.
