Additionally, since the legacy block layer and > SCSI core are on their way out I did not want to spend time on modifying these. For now we'll have to fix both paths to have equal functionality. Even if scsi might be on it's way out there still are many drivers that use the legacy request path, and with mmc we'll probably grow another dual block layer driver soon, although hopefully the transition period will be much shorter.
