Various scsi drivers use scsi_cmnd.buffer and scsi_cmnd.bufflen in their
queuecommand functions.  Those fields are internal storage for the
midlayer only and are used to restore the original payload after
request_buffer and request_bufflen have been overwritten for EH.  Using
the buffer and bufflen fields means they do very broken things in error
handling.

False statement, for libata.

Please CC the author (me) or linux-ide, at least, when you touch libata.
