No more ioctls for LLDDs, no more procfs, just a sysfs
straight jacket; until sysfs goes the way of devfs ...

A subversive thought: a SAS LLDD supporting a SMP target
(as well as the standard SSP,SMP and STP initiators).
Then, via vendor specific SMP functions, control apps
can access the HBA to do things that linux disallows
or makes difficult :-)
[May not work unless HBAs have the equivalent of
the network "lo" interface.]
