I surely understand the three files are for HAL. I'm thinking of remove HAL totally from a distribution. TO make this possible, it's a must to remove hal-info so I'm taking a look at all files in hal-info. These three files should be related to storage device processing so I'm guessing if it's covered by DeviceKit-disks but not sure.
DK-Disks and hal are independent of each other and provide services to applications. DK-Disks doesn't need the fdi files, but of course it might well be that some of your installed programs need HAL. For example, current KDE uses hal, and a lot of applications (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy for an incomplete list)
