I tried it this morning.  It adds 4982 bytes of kernel bloat
to put all the "additional sense code"/"additional sense
code qualifier" descriptions in the kernel.

It rubs me the wrong way to put it in the kernel but the other 
suggestions don't work for me either - a lot of the times you need
this info is before the system gets off the ground and so tables and
ioctls don't solve that problem.

Shall I commit this?

Peter
