Jeff,
Here is a follow on patch based on lk 2.6.13-rc7
plus the start_stop_unit patch and the rw_zero_length
patch.

It adds more general error processing, typically for
problems (or an early finish) detected while a
SCSI command is being processed prior to an ATA
command being executed.

Changelog:
  - add extern ata_scsi_set_sense() to build SCSI
    sense data and corresponding status
  - this allows removal of extern ata_scsi_badcmd()
    and static inline ata_bad_scsiop() and ata_bad_cdb()
  - change "xlat" functions in libata-scsi so they
    are responsible for SCSI status and sense data
    when they return 1. This allows GOOD status or a
    specialized error to be set.
  - set DRIVER_SENSE when SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION
    is flagged in scsi_cmnd::result
  - yield an error for mode sense requests for saved
    values [sat-r05]
  - change recent rw_zero_length patch to do nothing
    (yield GOOD status) when transfer_length==0 for
    10 and 16 byte READ and WRITE commands (SBC-2).

All this is OK, though in the future, please split changes such as the creation and explicit use of ata_scsi_set_sense() to a separate patch. We need to separate logical changes. Patches get applied more quickly when they are split up, too.


However, I really wanted to go ahead and merge the C/H/S support patch, which updates the R/W xlat function, causing conflicts with your patch in several places. (as a side effect, C/H/S updates clean up the R/W xlat function rather nicely)


If you would be kind enough to rediff against the 'upstream' branch of
rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/libata-dev.git

I would really appreciate it. I'll merge it as soon as I receive the rediff.

	Jeff
