No, this is not the right thing to do. Invoking the ->get_cd()
callback, for every request is suboptimal and would likely have
effects on performance.

Moreover, I wonder how big an issue it is to use the led here. If the
card is being removed, the request will fail anyway, so the led should
soon stop flashing anyway, right?
