There was no response on this patch last time, so i am resubmitting it here. It
applies on the current linux-2.6 git tree.

[patch 1/1] blktrace: Add blktrace ioctls to SCSI generic devices

[Christof Schmitt]

From: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com>

Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can
also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives),
not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop
tracing.

This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the
sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like
for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i -

Looks fine to me, queued up for 2.6.25.
