It looks like hal sets a "storage.requires_eject" capability for
certain devices, e.g. for iPods:

<match key="storage.vendor" contains="Apple">
  <match key="storage.model" contains="iPod">
    [...]
    <merge key="storage.requires_eject" type="bool">true</merge>
  </match>
</match>

So maybe Thunar could use this information to decide if an eject is
desired of if a simple umount is enough.
