Most likely what will happen is the system will mount the sdcard, and
if necessary start the media scanner so that the user can see their
media on the sd card when they turn the screen on.  But that is mostly
irrelevant, the point is that the event needs to be passed to
userspace to allow it to make the decision in a timely fashion.

This patch is ported from the Android common tree, so you've probably
been using it.
