I was going over the scsi I/O submit path, when sd_init_command
construct the scsi command, this_count is already checked in the
previous else if clause. Why does it need to check it again in
the last else block?
Patch to delete the spurious check.

a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h
b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off
c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC
d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with
TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed
to have page 8 at all.
e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that
it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if
mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that
are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here,
have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that...
f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead
of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions
in there are gone now.
Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no
mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might
be interesting to check...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
