Apparently you have no detailed knowlege of the implementation of
SCSI storage stacks, for example: driver->fw->interconnect->device.
You also fail to understand who the "I" and "T" could be in an
I_T_x_x nexus at each stage of an implementation.
You also fail to understand that a SAM nexus is not necessarily established
when queuecommand() is called.
I hope you're pretending that you don't understand, on purpose or
as a joke. The alternative would simply be too scary.
Good luck!
