Hmm... what kind of backing device? Because I have Crucial/Micron M500 SSDs
here that _always_ complain (in a SMART counter/attribute) that they have
been subject to a sudden poweroff *when subject to a normal system
shutdown*.

This is scaring me a great deal. Are we doing something different for SSDs
in the scsi-sd or libata shutdown paths?
