And all SCSI buffers are allocated using kmalloc? No way at all for user
space to pass unaligned data?
(SCSI is a weird beast - I have used a SCSI DAT tape driver many many
years ago, which broke all sorts of assumptions about transfer block
sizes ... but that might actually have been in the v0.99 days, many
rewrites of SCSI midlevel ago).
Just being cautious, as getting any of this tested will be a stretch.
Cheers,
Michael
