OK, I need one more piece of information. 

We obviously need to check whether the sccb we got is long enough
before we try to access the command-specific field. How long is the
sccb supposed to be for configure I/O adapter? For pci, 16 bytes; in
general, I would guess that it needs to include at least atype and some
placeholder for the payload. What does the AR say?

Looking at the pci code, I also noted that it cheerfully uses the aid
field of the sccb before checking whether it is actually long enough...
