Further to a January 2013 thread titled: "[PATCH] SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl
should only perform requested operation" by Jeremy Linton a patch (v3)
is presented that expands the existing ioctl to include "no_escalate"
versions to the existing resets. This requires no changes to SCSI low
level drivers (LLDs); it adds several more finely tuned reset options
to the user space. For example:

   /* This call remains the same, with the same escalating semantics
    * if the device (LU) reset fail. That is: on failure to try a
    * target reset and if that fails, try a bus reset, and if that fails
    * try a host (i.e. LLD) reset. */
   val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE;
   res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val);

   /* What follows is a new option introduced by this patch series. Only
    * a device reset is attempted. If that fails then an appropriate
    * error code is provided. N.B. There is no reset escalation. */
   val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE | SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE;
   res = ioctl(<sg_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val);

The current scsi_test_unit_ready() is updated to return sense code

We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code.  Both of them have drawbacks.

This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:

 - argument checking
 - use scatterlist I/O
 - set number of retries based on the submitted command

This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path.  Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?

Thanks to  Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

This should eliminate (at least in the mid layer) to make numeric
assumptions about any of the enumeration variables.  As a side effect,
it will also make all the messages consistent and line us up nicely for
the error logging strategy (if it ever shows itself again).

We fix the oops by enforcing the host state model.  There have also
been two extra states added: SHOST_CANCEL_RECOVERY and
SHOST_DEL_RECOVERY so we can take the model through host removal while
the recovery thread is active.

This returns always false with new-style drivers right now.  Make it
return always true instead, as a host must be present if we are able
to call the ioctl (without a host attached there would be no device
node to call on..)

This one removes struct scsi_request entirely from sd.  In the process,
I noticed we have no callers of scsi_wait_req who don't immediately
normalise the sense, so I updated the API to make it take a struct
scsi_sense_hdr instead of simply a big sense buffer.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
