Yet more info:

eject -s sends the following SCSI packet command to the sbp/ipod device:

1b 00 00 00 02 00 with a direction of DMA_NONE

eject -r results in the same via the CDROMEJECT translator in 
scsi_cmd_ioctl(), but with a direction of DMA_TO_DEVICE. Thats what crashes 
it - looks like its trying to set up a DMA transfer for 0 bytes or something. 
I just added a really horrible hack to the start of sbp2_send_command() to 
check, as follows:

   if (*cmd == 0x1b) {
      SCpnt->sc_data_direction = 3;
   }

Now, eject -r works perfectly. Though thats obviously not a good way to fix 
it :)
