What? You expected this to be easy? :)

FWIW, I'm perfectly happy with the desire to shuffle the ZBC-specifics
over to sd_zbc.c.

I'd still rather keep it in sd. If you don't have sufficient supplies of
aspirin for the sd_completed_bytes() approach then I'm OK with a simple
tweak to sd_done(). We need something we can reasonably Cc: to stable
for 4.10.

You are welcome to key off of scsi_medium_access_command() if you like
but I don't think it's necessary. Just having a default for the req_op
switch should suffice.

I believe that was your original sd approach. If you post it again I'll
have another look.

And then I'll put the bigger completion rework back on my todo list.
