Aaand, I can't do this and leave it in drivers/scsi because of drivers/Makefile:

obj-$(CONFIG_SCSI)              += scsi/

So: this needs to live in block/ just like CONFIG_BLK_SCSI_REQUEST's
scsi_ioctl.c. I will split it into CONFIG_BLK_SCSI_SENSE, but I'll
still need to move the code from drivers/scsi/ to block/. Is this
okay?
