Well, ironically I'm currently debugging a customer escalation which 
touches exactly this area.
It revolves more around the SG_IO handling; qemu ignores the host_status 
setting completely, leading to data corruption if the host has to abort 
commands.
(Not that the host _does_ abort commands, as qemu SG_IO sets an infinite 
timeout. But that's another story).

And part of the patchset is to enable passing of the host_status code 
back to the drivers. In particular virtio_scsi has a 'response' code 
which matches pretty closely to the linux SCSI DID_XXX codes.
So my idea is to pass the host_status directly down to the drivers, 
allowing virtio-scsi to do a mapping between DID_XX and virtio response 
codes. That way we can get rid of the weird mapping in utils/scsi.c 
where we try to map the DID_XXX codes onto Sense or SCSI status.
And with that we could map the error codes above onto DID_XXX codes, 
too, allowing us to have a more streamlined mapping.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Hannes
