Yes, but if we can get away with doing that, it should be in genhd
because it's completely generic.

I was imagining we'd have to fake the reply to the test unit ready or
some other commands, which is why it would need to be in sr.c

The check events code is Tejun's baby, if he's OK with it then just do
it in genhd.c

The problem here is there's no easy to reach genhd from libata (or the
other way around) without going through sr.  I think we're gonna have
to have something in sr one way or the other.

 ...which is precisely as I said when v1 of this ZPODD patchset appeared.

sr modifications cannot be avoided.
