No matter what the next step is, you will have to deal with code that looks
very similar to what I proposed. An example from libata:

	else if (qc->flags & ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID)
		cmd->result = SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION;

BTW, in drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx_2/sym_defs.h there are definitions for synonyms
of standard SCSI constants. I wouldn't mind if these synonyms would be removed:

#define	S_GOOD		SAM_STAT_GOOD
#define	S_CHECK_COND	SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION
#define	S_COND_MET	SAM_STAT_CONDITION_MET
#define	S_BUSY		SAM_STAT_BUSY
#define	S_INT		SAM_STAT_INTERMEDIATE
#define	S_INT_COND_MET	SAM_STAT_INTERMEDIATE_CONDITION_MET
#define	S_CONFLICT	SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT
#define	S_TERMINATED	SAM_STAT_COMMAND_TERMINATED
#define	S_QUEUE_FULL	SAM_STAT_TASK_SET_FULL

Thanks,

Bart.
