Hi Andy,

Aside from whether they handle BIDI ops or not, parsing of the CDB by
kernel and user SCSI passthrough modules should be identical. Move this
into a new passthrough_parse_cdb() and call it from tcm-pscsi and tcm-user.

Hi Andy,

I don't understand why this is needed. First of all, I would suggest
rephrasing the comment since it seems to have a few problems (it took me
a while to understand it). Also, since this is a pass-through SCSI
implementation, you shouldn't have to examine the CDB or modify it in
any way. What do you think?

I think it can go. But why don't we keep this patch just about making the common function (not changing anything) and we can remove this in a separate patch against for-next in the near future? I'll make a note to do this.
