It's not quite the same.
It wouldn't help already existing software. (How much is there?)
sanei_scsi.c might not be the only piece of software which uses
write()/read() calls. This is also about the general ability of Linux to
run 32bit apps on 64bit hardware.
How different is the ioctl(SG_IO)? I thought it was blocking, which
might be the reason the read/write method exists as well? Are there apps
which rely on non-blocking I/O?
