    xdisk - disk_setdiskinfo() must be assynchronous
    
    * Allow CMD_BUF_READ operations without the device having to be open.
      This allows disk probes to occur.
    
    * Use disk_setdiskinfo(), which is asynchronous, to avoid an I/O deadlock
      because the call is made from the rxmsg loop.  If it were to issue I/O
      synchronously we would deadlock and never process the reply.
