Now that I'm on the CC, I see this.

What's the 10k-foot level summary here?  Is there an alternate sense-data
format that uses some sort of "descriptor" structure?  I'm assuming this is
a new SCSI-III thing, or did I just miss it in SCSI-II?

This *looks* like you're using functions provided by the SCSI core to
access and modify the sense data... so I'm assuming that's because there
are alternate formats...
