Okay, I started looking into how to handle scsi-generic I/O in the
new world order.
I think the best is to use the SG_IO ioctl instead of the read/write
interface as that allows us to support scsi passthrough on disk/cdrom
devices, too. See Hannes patch on the kvm list from August for an
example.
Now that we always do ioctls we don't need another abstraction than
bdrv_ioctl for the synchronous requests for now, and for asynchronous
requests I've added a aio_ioctl abstraction keeping it simple.
Long-term we might want to move the ops to a higher-level abstraction
and let the low-level code fill out the request header, but I'm lazy
enough to leave that to the people trying to support scsi-passthrough
on a non-Linux OS.
Tested lightly by issuing various sg_ commands from sg3-utils in a guest
to a host CDROM device.

When a scsi device is backed by a scsi generic device instead of an
ordinary host block device, the block API is abused in a couple of annoying
ways:
- nb_sectors is negative, and specifies a byte count instead of a sector count
- offset is ignored, since scsi-generic is essentially a packet protocol
This overloading makes hacking the block layer difficult. Remove it by
introducing a new explicit API for scsi-generic devices. The new API
is still backed by the old implementation, but at least the users are
insulated.

this patch allows to fully use a tape device connected to qemu through
the scsi-generic interface.
Previous patch introduced tape SCSI commands management, this one
improve error case management:
- the SCSI controller command completion must be called with the status
value, not the sense value. In the case of scsi-generic, the SCSI status
is given by the field status of sg_io_hdr_t (the value is left shifted
by one regarding status codes defined in /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h)
- when a read is aborted due to a mark/EOF/EOD/EOM, the len reported to
controller can be 0. LSI controller emulation doesn't know how to manage
this. A workaround found is to call the completion routine with
SCSI_REASON_DONE just after calling it with SCSI_REASON_DATA with len=0.
This patch also manages correctly the block size of the tape device.
This patch has been tested with a real tape device "HP C5683A", linux
guest (debian etch) and tools like "mt", "tar" and "btape".
Windows guest is not better supported than before...

This patch allows to use a "real" SCSI tape with qemu using
"-drive /dev/sgX,if=scsi".
It allows to decode correctly transfer length when the type of the
device is a tape.
Some issues remain when the application reading the tape tries to go
beyond the end of the stream (but they must be corrected at the SCSI
controller level).

According to SCSI documentation, for 6 bytes commands (READ(6),
WRITE(6)), if transfer length is 0 it specifies 256 blocks.
