I noticed that in libata-scsi.c, the ata_scsi_simulate() 
function calls for the SCSI commands SEEK_6 and SEEK_10 
are being simulated instead of being translated to the 
ATA SEEK command (0x70).  Why is this being done?

I know that the SEEK command was declared obsolete with draft 1c 
of ATA/ATAPI-7 after the April 2002 T13 meeting, but why
deny older (which AFAIK constitutes the majority of drives 
on the market) drives the ability to seek?  

The reason I ask is because this makes benchmarking a little
difficult. :)
