Should generate one log message per kernel run when the write() system call is used with the sg interface version 3. Due to security concerns suggest that they use ioctl(SG_SUBMIT_v3) instead. Sg interface version 1 or 2 based code may also be calling write() in this context. There is no easy solution for them (short of upgrading their interface to version 3 or 4), so don't produce a warning suggesting the conversion will be simple.
