In SPC-3, WRITE(10)/(16) support grouping function.
Let's associate bio write hint with group number for
enabling StreamID or Turbo Write feature.

No need for braces here.
Already send a new version
But what I'm more worried about is devices not recognizing the feature
throwing up on the field. Can you check what SBC version first
references these or come up with some other decently smart conditional?
My reference is SCSI Block Commands – 3 (SBC-3) Revision 25.
Section 5.32 WRITE (10) and 5.34 WRITE (16)
Maybe Martin has a good idea, too.
That is the GROUP NUMBER field. Also found in READ(16) at the same
location within its cdb. The proposed code deserves at least an
explanatory comment.
Since it is relatively recent, perhaps the above should only be done iff:
- the REPORT SUPPORTED OPERATION CODES (RSOC) command is supported, and
- in the RSOC entry for WRITE(16), the CDB USAGE DATA field (a bit mask)
indicates the GROUP NUMBER field is supported
That check can be done once, at disk attachment time where there is already
code to fetch RSOC.
Is there a bi_read_hint ? If not then the bi_write_hint should also be applied
to READ(16). Makes that variable naming look pretty silly though.
