as far as I can tell the old code doesn't interpret it, it just does a
slightly more convoluted hexdump than your version.  Care to come up
with a better description for this patch?

This would be more readanle without the remaining variable:

	for (i = 0; i < sense_len; i += 16) {
		linelen = min(senselen - i, 16);
	
		...
	}

no need for the res variable.  In fact due to the boolean-like return
value of scsi_normalize_sense it would be a lot more readable without
the variable.
