Howdy,
When a ATA/ATAPI device is attached via libata, what should the handling be for mode pages that do not exist in the device?
Assuming the page being asked for is 0x83, should libata fake up the page from the IDENTIFY (PACKET) DEVICE data? Or should it just respond there is no page 0x83 as it does now in INQUIRY? Likewise for 0x80?
For ATA, it should be emulated according to T10 SCT.
For ATAPI, it should be passed through to the device in almost all cases. I'm not terribly interested even in adding support for the T10 SCT-suggested stuff for ATAPI.
