- add varlen_cdb and varlen_cdb_len to hold a large user cdb
if needed. They start as empty. Allocation of buffer must
be done by user and held until request execution is done.
- Since there can be either a fix_length command up to 16 bytes
or a variable_length, larger then 16 bytes, commands but never
both, we hold the two types in a union to save space. The
presence of varlen_cdb_len and cmd_len==0 signals a varlen_cdb
mode.
- Please use added rq_{set,get}_varlen_cdb() to set every thing
up in a way that will not confuse drivers that do not support
varlen_cdb's.
- Note that this patch does not add any size to struct request
since the unsigned cmd_len is split here to 2 ushorts, which
is more then enough.
