The only other use case brought up is allowing use of vendor-specific
commands while burning CDs. Given that the usual burning has been
working well enough for years now, I don't really think that's a
strong enough reason to add full BPF filtering to SG_IO. It's just
highly unusual thing to do and there isn't strong enough use case for
it.

To me, it feels like you guys are pushing a feature without strong
enough use case. So, I'm still pretty strongly against it.

Thanks.
