I'm not sure. The SCSI midlayer does nothing with that tag field, apart 
from set it to the block layer request tag, and it seems that these 
drivers reuse that field for their own tag management. But Hannes is 
confident that we may just use scsi_cmd_to_rq().

These are the patches:

Hannes, please consider resending, cc'ing Russell.
