Well, bad luck for people buying such broken hardware. Maybe you can trick Jeff into adding junk like that to libata, but it surely doesn't have any business in the scsi layer.

I wish they'd learn a lesson or two from their cpu collegues. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
