OK, I was asking because bdrv_close() was invoked directly by the
ejection code until recently and thought that maybe you were referring
to that, and that there might have been a way for I/O to spill to the
new medium if one issued a change command.

Ah, OK, so you meant “Either all or no I/O should go to the medium”, I
thought it was about the fact that I/O might go somewhere else than the
old medium or /dev/null (e.g. the new medium in case of a change).

That makes more sense now, thanks! :-)
