The masks for the st and osst tape drivers in MAINTAINERS are too
broad and include unrelated files. Make the file list accurate so that
maintainers of these drivers aren't bothered with unrelated work.

are you going to pick up Arnd's patch [1] for scsi-stable (3.10) branch?

This adds two new sysfs attributes to the queue kobject. The attributes
allow reading and writing the whitelist of unprivileged commands.
This is again a bit different from what was removed in commit 018e044
(block: get rid of queue-private command filter, 2009-06-26), but the idea
is the same.
The command filter used to be mutable via sysfs, but this was broken
and backed out. Let's add it back. This patch adds the infrastructure
for filtering, but unlike the old code this one just adds a pointer to
request_queue, so as to make it cheaper in the majority of cases where
no special filte
Using /dev/sg for scanners is blocked from unprivileged users. Reimplement
this using customizable command filters, so that the sysfs knobs will work
in this case too.

Move policy on SG_IO access to userspace. Some level of checking
at the kernel level (compared to just having an opt-out for the
default whitelist) is needed because any userspace whitelist is too
easily circumvented by doing ptrace on the program that has a file
descriptor open. This would be a
