Hmmm.  Sometimes it pays to RTFM.  No, wait, there is no FM.  OK, RTFS

Yes, it looks like I could use them nicely.  In fact, it's just what

Well, they're used in scsi_ioctl.c and wfd.c, and that's the only
place I've been able to find them.  But it's a good idea, and it might
be the way to save the ccd driver if that's what's eating it.
