Has someone already done some customization on sg ?  What I would
like is an ioctl which would set a ``noretry'' flag -- ie, the
sg driver should absolutely do no retries, e.g. bus resets and
so on.

Is that possible, knowing the internal working of the SCSI drivers ?

Idea would be to use the ``sg'' device as a diagnostic tool.
