What do you mean by this?  Most SCSI devices don't handle ATA_16 because
it's only useful if the device is actually an ATA device behind a
bridge.

As a general rule, you shouldn't filter in the driver commands you think
the host won't want to see, you should let the host reply with an error
code.  You should *only* filter commands that cause an actual bug in the
host.  Is the latter the case for this command (if so that needs to be
explained)?

This signoff chain doesn't make sense, since you're sending me the patch
and apparently you authored it.
