That is the crux of the matter:  it is rather difficult within the 
current code, if there is not a 1:1 correspondence between SCSI command 
and ATA command.

The solution that works within libata-scsi.c involves creating two 
ata_queued_cmd's, and managing the issuance and completion yourself.

But really -- the most practical route seems to be simply to set WCE, to 
trigger the desired behavior.
