I instrumented __atapi_pio_bytes to print some variables. This is the dump of
the first two:

[    1.484730] count: 36 sg->length: 36 qc->cursg_ofs: 0 bytes: 36
[    1.485709] qc->cdb[]:12000000240000000000000000000000
That works fine.

[    1.499843] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM            HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-U10N  1.05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[    1.508389] count: 18 sg->length: 96 qc->cursg_ofs: 0 bytes: 18
[    1.509369] qc->cdb[]:03000000600000000000000000000000
That one is broken.
