Thanks for your suggestion. I'd be lucky if this was true. But the most
important users of scsi_result_to_blk_status() are in scsi_lib.c
(scsi_io_completion_action(), scsi_io_completion_nz_result()).

If I move scsi_result_to_blk_status() to vmlinux without exporting it,
it won't be available in the SCSI core any more, at least not with
CONFIG_SCSI=m.

Martin
