I've only tested it on one machine, I have no idea what it does on some of
the less common ones. I'll try to implement the safeguard and send it to
Paul and BenH after that.
I'm out of the office until next week so it won't happen fast.

Looks like we should compare the state the card is left in by MacOS and
what we get from a cold boot (I know this is non-trivial) instead of using
the 'boot MacOS first' workaround.
