When SCSI HBA device drivers are required to process an ATA internal

themselves.
If we associate a SCSI command (and request) with an ATA internal command
then the tag is already provided, so introduce the change to send ATA
internal commands through the block layer with a set of custom blk-mq ops.
note: I think that the timeout handling needs to be fixed up.
Any reason to not just send them through an ATA_16 passthrough CDB and
just use all the normal SCSI command handling?
.
No reason that I know about.
TBH, I was hoping that someone woud have a better idea on how to do this
as what I was doing was messy.
Let me check it.
