While testing the WRITE SCATTERED command support in a new sg3_utils
utility (sg_write_x) it was helpful to have a target that supported
this command. This command might be attractive to other kernel
subsystems. Even if end devices don't support this command yet, it
would most likely be a performance win if SCSI LLDs supported it (by
breaking it down to a series of WRITE commands), as that would cut
down the overhead of the block layer, the ULD (e.g. sd) and the SCSI
midlevel.

  tab, kstrto changes, requested by checkpatch.pl
  fix group_number mask 0x1f->0x3f
  expand do_device_access to take sg offset
  add resp_write_scat function
