I really hate having a _global_ variable called "fua". That's just bad taste. I would suggest calling it "atapi_forced_unit_attention_enabled", but maybe that is going a bit overboard. It's definitely better than just "fua", though.

<shrug> It will go away when things are fixed, and only users who are testing will even bother with it.

Looking over the module subsystem, it looks like one could use module_param_named() to achieve proper namespace separation (C versus module opt) -- then you could call it libata_fua -- but for a temporary module option it seems like more trouble than its worth.
