"Common Command Set"

An extra agreement between vendors after the 1986 publication of the original
SCSI specification about what would be interesting ot actually support.

Actually, the preferred mechanism, which is sort of what we have now, is that
all HBAs should *not* have wide, sync, or tagged by default enabled.

When the inquiry data is scanned, it can report support for these options if
this is SCSI-2 or better.

There is enabling ioctls for the hbas for all of this.

The sd driver can enable tagged q'ing as it sees fit for SCSI-1 drives.

In other words, there shouldn't even be a need to 'disable' t-qing for SCSI-1
because it  really shouldn't be enabled.

This is probably a thorpej-scsi branch issue.
