Marc noticed that a recent ATAPI permissions fix broke NetBSD 7.0's
installer ISO.

The problem is that it's meaningless to check for !(cmd->flags & nondata)
if the command isn't supported, since all unsupported commands have
_no_ flags. Effectively, all commands default to "Transfer Data" in our
model until we classify them otherwise.

This leads to a problem where we reject a zero byte BCL PIO command that
transfers no data, simply because we have no properties for the command
at all.

Getting an ATA rejection for this command greatly confuses NetBSD.

Correct behavior is to reject the command at the SCSI layer for being
unsupported.
