This patch makes it possible to use the packet writing driver with
DVD-RAM discs. The pktcdvd driver is not needed for writing to DVD-RAM
discs but it can improve write performance. Polg?r Istv?n reports:
I wrote 178716Kb data to DVD-RAM without pktcdvd driver within
4.54 minutes. With pktcdvd driver it took me 2.33 minutes.

+Packet writing for DVD-RAM media
+--------------------------------
+
+DVD-RAM discs are random writable, so using the pktcdvd driver is not
+necessary. However, using the pktcdvd driver can improve performance
+in the same way it does for DVD+RW media.
