We just need DeviceKit. As long as the kernel exposes mmcblk1 as removable, this thing'll pick it up.

(NOTE: GNOME used to do this with HAL scripts. Maemo uses HAL, and I don't think pulling out HAL is a good idea. P.S. HAL is deprecated everywhere!)

Anyways, we'll need to simply remove whatever part of a script runs genfstab.awk, and uses variables set by that thing in every damn bootup script.
