Thanks.  I have the SCSI spec--that's not the problem.  The problem is
more mundane things like the meaning of the parameters to the
functions.  For example, what are the units of the timeout field?  I'm
guessing seconds, but it could well be microseconds.

I thought it was a BSDI application :-)  Seriously, looking at the
code, I decided to clone the BSDI version rather than the Linux
version, since it looked cleaner.
