+Description: Do not skip removable devices on scan
+ Disks on AHCI and RAID mode controllers which are hot-plug capable always
+ should have been considered removable. Newer kernels (~3.17 onwards) are
+ getting more correct in setting this right. However that makes dmraid as
+ it is now ignoring those disks.
