matthieu castet d277064e7e USB: mass storage: emulation of sat scsi_pass_thru with ATACB
I have got a cypress usb-ide bridge and I would like to tune or monitor
my disk with tools like hdparm, hddtemp or smartctl.

My controller support a way to send raw ATA command to the disk with
something call atacb (see
http://download.cypress.com.edgesuite.net/design_resources/datasheets/contents/cy7c68300c_8.pdf).

Atacb support can be added for each application, but there is some disadvantages :
- all application need to be patched
- A race is possible if there other accesses, because the emulation can
be split in 2 atacb scsi transactions. One for sending the command, one
for reading the register (if ck_cond is set). 

I have implemented the emulation in usb-storage with a special proto_handler,
and an unsual entry.
