It seems appropriate that the INSANE_SENSE idea be brought back. The INSANE_SENSE flag could prevent the SANE_SENSE from being detected. Most importantly it could be specified as a quirk on the kernel command line.

I'll prepare a patch in the next few days to make review and discuss. Okay. > The only other idea I have at this moment is to remove the if-condition that detects truncated sense data. I am not entirely opposed to this idea, but it would remove large sense support for everything except SAT commands. And this is something you would prefer not to do?
