I think this would be a bit easier to understand if the use_sct flag
goes away, and we instead just key off "if (unmap)" below.

I don't think the comment adds much value. But now that we implement
WRITE SAME for both the unmap and non-unmap case we'll also need a similar
check here to reject a WRITE SAME with the unmap flag if TRIM isn't
supported, don't we?

I still think that this is broken for arbitrary user space pass through
command (and probably was broken before you touched the code). We really
need something that does a kmap here. I think the safest think to do
is to rewrite ata_set_lba_range_entries to use sg_copy_from_buffer (
and move it out of the header while we're at it). That should be
a prep patch to the SCT support.

The comment doesn't match what the code does. It only uses SCT
if use_sct, aka !unmap is true.

Please handle all the supported commands in a single fallthrough
statement.

Also please make supported a bool and do the conversion to the magic
SCSI format in a single place at the end of the function.

Should we report this for non-ZBC devices?
