struct scsipi_xfer *xs;

xs->sense.scsi_sense.response_code & SSD_RCODE_VALID != 0
SSD_RCODE(xs->sense.scsi_sense.response_code) == SSD_RCODE_CURRENT
SSD_SENSE_KEY(xs->sense.scsi_sense.flags) == SKEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST
xs->sense.scsi_sense.asc   == 0x24
xs->sense.scsi_sense.ascq  == 0x00

This tells you that the command failed, you have retrieved valid
sense_data, the device did think the command was illegal, the
reason was that there was an invalid field in the command control
block.

The only place where you can handle this error is in the
callback sd_interpret_sense where you have match this with
the command in question. The command is xs->cmd and the
command code is xs->cmd->opcode.


Now, sdopen() specifies XS_CTL_IGNORE_ILLEGAL_REQUEST
for scsipi_prevent() but this doesn't seem to be honored.
