I'm trying to cater to the objections that were made to Andy's patch.
If you mean the non-UAPI headers, James wanted them to stay in scsi/; if
you mean the UAPI headers, Douglas complained about the flat structure
of include/linux/.

I can do this, but I think they are obsoleted by SG_GET_SCSI_ID, except
for SCSI_IOCTL_GET_PCI which is horrible anyway. :) The comment about
conflicts with CDROM ioctls is also interesting. I can see why one
would want to keep them out of the new canonical place for SCSI ioctls.
