[linux-minidisc] Can no longer access Hi-MD

[Mark Fraser <zedat@mfraz.orangehome.co.uk>]

Since doing some updates to Kubuntu 13.04 recently I have been unable to 
access any disks on my MZ-RH1. The syslog shows this:

Any ideas? I'm thinking it could be due to a kernel update or the change from 
udisk to udisk2.
