I'm not sure about the in-kernel driver, as I was told by my boss it doesn't work at all with the overland tape library. And yes, with the driver from qlogic I *have* to do sg io through this driver. But it only knows its own ioctls, but not the default sg-ioctls. I'm now adding all these ioctls to the driver, but somehow I think it is ridiculous to this when these are already defined in scsi/sg.c.
