It's perhaps reasonable to call sanei_scsi_cmd2 instead of 
sanei_scsi_cmd. The former function needs/wants different buffers for 
the CDB and the write data. All OS specific SCSI interfaces (except the 
old Linux SG interface) use different buffers anyway, and in many cases 
the backends have also different buffers for CDB and data, so I expect 
that you can also avoid a few memcpy calls. And inside sanei_scsi, the 
function sanei_scsi_cmd tries to guess the CDB size and then calls 
sanei_scsi_cmd2 anyway.
