So, based on all this I think the only viable approach is to

1. Add a note to the docs DriveDetach() saying that the drive, while
   detachable, may be located inside the box. E.g. basically recommend
   that policy agents only call DriveDetach() when the user specifically
   asked to "Safely Remove Hardware"

2. Fix up GVfs/Nautilus so we never call DriveDetach() when the user presses
   the "Eject" button - e.g. only when the user chooses the "Safely Remove
   Hardware", we call DriveDetach().

3. In the future we could add a DriveIsOnExternalPort boolean property that
   is set to TRUE if, and only if, we are 100% the port is external.

Thoughts?
