For the ancient drivers, like this, the principal is that we really
don't touch except for tested bug fixes. For the current ones (like
mvumi) it's up to the maintainer.

The masks for the st and osst tape drivers in MAINTAINERS are too

This adds two new sysfs attributes to the queue kobject. The attributes
allow reading and writing the whitelist of unprivileged commands.
This is again a bit different from what was removed in commit 018e044
(block: get rid of queue-private command filter, 2009-06-26), but the idea
is the same.
The command filter used to be mutable via sysfs, but this was broken
and backed out. Let's add it back. This patch adds the infrastructure
for filtering, but unlike the old code this one just adds a pointer to
request_queue, so as to make it cheaper in the majority of cases where
no special
Using /dev/sg for scanners is blocked from unprivileged users. Reimplement
this using customizable command filters, so that the sysfs knobs will work
in this case too.
