I'll work on a patch to have TCMU just do PASS_ALL.

PASS_IO does seem useful, but I think it needs a fair amount of work
to get right over the current state, e.g. define what actual commands
you want to send to userspace.  Piggybacking on SCSI commands there
and heaving a leaky abstraction needs to go away.

How far is this:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/grover/linux.git/commit/?h=tcmu-iomode-option7

from what you're describing? This is enumerating all actual commands we want to send to userspace, is it not?

p.s. still working on the PASS_ALL patch.
