Heh.

Anyway, I don't think the situation is "wrong" per se. Martin took code
that was generic from SCSI, and moved it to the common place. In the
process, you noticed that the original code was broken. Downsides? I guess
it gets fixed now. Sounds reasonable to me, and we should just be happy
that these things get noticed eventually, even if the reason for noticing
it is the "wrong" one.
