I think Martin and Christoph are objecting to moving the code to
block/scsi_ioctl.h. I don't care too much about where the code is, but
think it would be nice to have the definitions in a separate header. But
if they prefer just pulling in all of SCSI for it, well then I guess
it's pointless to move the header bits. Seems very heavy handed to me,
though.
