Well, not all options would have corresponding side effects.  Some
would, other would not.  This would be spelled out in the spec.

So writing true to volume.ejected would either eject the device or (more
sensibly) do nothing.  The spec would make it clear.

We do not show the IP assigned a device in HAL currently, and I don't
think that ought to change.
