Neither length is sufficient to avoid truncation of e.g. ATA pass-through
commands or commands with variable length CDBs. However, from the point of
view of debugging queue lockups the most useful information in a SCSI
command are the first two bytes of the CDB. The chosen buffer length is
definitely enough to make sure that these two bytes will be reported.
