ata_id: Support SG_IO version 4 interface
This makes it possible to use /dev/bsg/* nodes for ata_id: # /lib/udev/ata_id --export /dev/bsg/0\:0\:0\:0 ID_ATA=1 ID_TYPE=disk ID_BUS=ata ID_MODEL=INTEL_SSDSA2MH080G1GC ID_MODEL_ENC=INTEL\x20SSDSA2MH080G1GC\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20 ID_REVISION=045C8802 [...] This means that our cd-rom detection as per commit http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/hotplug/udev.git;a=commit;h=160b069c25690bfb0c785994c7c3710289179107 needs to be reworked since we can't just use the CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY ioctl on a /dev/bsg node (which is a character device). We do this by just sending the SCSI INQUIRY command and checking the type (CD-ROM's are all type 0x05 and disks are type 0x00) before we issue the ATA IDENTIFY command through the SCSI command ATA PASS_THROUGH (12). (Yes, it's a bit perverse how we have to tunnel our ATA commands through a SCSI command but that's how Linux currently work.) We still support for SG_IO version 3 (we fail back if version 4 fails with EINVAL) because testing reveals that some drivers (such as mpt2sas) still only support version 3 on the block nodes.
