This seems to miss a cast for arg.  Also I think it would be really nice
to have a little helper like:

int scsi_compat_ioctl(struct scsi_device *sdev, unsigned int cmd,
		unsiged long arg)
{
	struct scsi_host_template *hostt = sdev->host->hostt;
	if (hostt->compat_ioctl)
		return hostt->compat_ioctl(sdev, cmd, (void __user *)arg);
	return -ENOIOCTLCMD;
}

that all drivers could use.
