I just wanted to make people aware of a problem with the host tagging
-- scsi_cmnd->tag is always 0!

Watch this:

scsi_prep_fn:
ret = scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd(sdev, req);

scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd:
cmd = scsi_get_cmd_from_req(sdev, req);

scsi_get_cmd_from_req:
cmd->tag = req->tag;

scsi_request_fn:
if (!(blk_queue_tagged(q) && !blk_queue_start_tag(q, req)))
blk_start_request(req);

blk_queue_start_tag
rq->tag = tag;

(and yes, they're called in this order)

I encountered this while writing the UAS driver, and decided to just
use the rq->tag directly instead. I would favour deleting scmd->tag in
order to save others the confusion.

In fact, looking at the users of scmd->tag, it appears there is a common
misconception that it contains the tag type (HEAD / SIMPLE / ORDERED). I
have no idea where this comes from, but it means the following patch to
delete scmd's ->tag is almost certainly wrong ... but it preserves the
existing behaviour!
