[PATCH v2 06/11] block: sed-opal: split generation of bytestring header and content

[Jonas Rabenstein]

Split the header generation from the (normal) memcpy part if a
bytestring is copied into the command buffer. This allows in-place
generation of the bytestring content. For example, copy_from_user may be
used without an intermediate buffer.
