There is *no* restrictions or filtering what so ever. You can send any 
kind of CDB with any kind of buffers as BIOs. Even better, the scsi
midlayer is very careful to immediately fail a bidi command and not 
try any kind of reties or error handling. So yes if you are emulating 
a command execution in SW you should be safe. What I said is true at 
scsi level, at block level of course there is no restrictions for 
any command.
