Hello.

I think that there is mistake in linux/2.6.32.4/include/scsi/scsi.h:

the type defination of u8 should be type of __u8 on userspace 
(struct scsi_varlen_cdb_hdr).
I founded this problem when I try compile the util-linux-ng-2.17.
This should cause problems many other packages also that includes scsi.h
