There are several things I would like to see in the 2.3 SCSI code. This
can easily be added to the list along with full SENSE data reportability
and some other changes to the basic SCSI cmnd structure. I'm actually
considering starting my work on it now so that by the time 2.3 comes
around I've already got something to test with.....people might want to
just send me their little lists of things they think need done and I'll
start compiling a list of SCSI changes to go into the overall code.
