Hi all,

this patch adds support for adding ACLs to removable block devices
(such as USB keys) on insertion. This is useful for  allowing users to
run mkfs or fsck on their USB keys.

Please note that the patch does *not* enable it by default, that's up
to distros or individual users (gnome-polkit-authorization), but it
provides a standard flip to configure this behaviour.

OK to commit?

Thanks,

Martin
