It would be great to have this out in a header or maybe rather
headers.  OACS_SECURITY should go into nvme.h, we probably should have a
new header for the SCSI security protocols (e.g.
include/scsi/scsi_security.h ?), and I'm not sure what to do with 
ATA_SECURITY_LOCKED - maybe just add it to scsi_security.h for now until
we get a more fully blown ata security implementation that even includes
ATA :))

Please define a constant for the length in the new scsi_security.h
header.

Just use get_unaligned_be16 that operates directly on the char
array, similar to how we do in lots of places in the SCSI stack.

I wonder if it might be a good idea to change the structure here a bit
to allow for future other protocols and have each protocol in a helper,
e.g. do something like

	for (i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
		switch (protocols[8 + i]) {
		case SCSI_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_ATA_SECURITY:
			locked |= nvme_security_ata_is_locked()
			break;
		default:
			break;
	}

Can we have a sumbolic name for the 0xe?  Also please always add spaces
around your operators.

But after all this nitpicking the general idea looks fine, thanks a lot
for the patch!
