Since 2.2.16 it has been functional in the 2.2 kernels as well.

Sure, I have some code. The most interesting is probably the cdrwtool just mentioned in this thread. I've been thinking about doing a cdrecord "transport" using the CDROM_SEND_PACKET stuff just for the fun of it, if it worked well enough that would eliminate the need for ide-scsi on ATAPI burners completely.
