What type could be defined to be '__be24'?  Would

typedef struct {
	unsigned char data[3];
} __be24;

do the trick?  It's not an integral type, but I'm not sure if that matters.

That might be easier to read if you're using a 500-column terminal.  For
the rest of us,
				cmnd_lba = scsi_get_u24(cmnd + 2) & 0x1FFFFF;
is much easier to read.
