The current ide-cd driver reports the CDROM speed (as found in
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info) as the current speed when loading the driver.
Changing the speed of the cdrom drive (by "eject -x" for instance) doesn't
update the speed reported by the kernel. Updating the info could be
valuable for the user as it's the only way to know if the drive accepted
the request or discarded it. It could even be used to list all the
available speeds of the drive.
The attached patch modifies the ide-cd driver so that after every speed
change request the new speed is updated. Please note that the actual
modification is very little but I had to touch quite a few lines in order
to avoid to pre-declare the sub-functions.
