for SCSI i think there is already such a call (perhaps with a
different name).
i have some diffs for the latter on ATAPI drives (with much help
from other people) at
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/cdda980108.diffs
(it actually implements a generic ATAPI command, but can do the purpose)
the problem with this code is that some drives seem to behave in a way
which contraddicts the ATAPI specs (at least the ones I have) so that
at times they miss one interrupt. since our atapi code does not have a
watchdog, this means hanging the IDE bus where the drive is attached.
it's not this code which is faulty, but it might trigger bugs elsewhere.

this is usually fixed through small adaptation routines in linux_ioctl.c
(which basically translates all ioctl names and juggles with parameters
in and out)
