[PATCH] USB mass storage unbind

[Couriousous]

Hello

Here is a little patch which implement the same behavior as MS Windows when 
you "Safely remove" an usb mass-storage: switch-off the device.

The way to do it on linux is to unbind the device from the usb driver (at 
least here it works), so I've hacked a patch on hal-storage-eject to unbind 
it when it's "ejected". 

Since this is a special eject case, the following rule must be added for usb 
flash drives:
<merge  key="storage.requires_eject" type="bool">true</merge>

This patch is not really tested since I've only one usb mass storage device 
and hub.

Regards,
Couriousous
