I thought it was the sg_io that would be the problem, but apparently on
further research, it simply discards the error as does scsi_execute_req.
I suppose that's a strong enough reason to try returning an error ...
I'm just a bit leery this close to a release.
I think this will work ... it just really needs quite a bit of
testing ...
