It's a bit strange for me, IMHO other scsi drivers requests sense buffer without
EH thread assistance.
Currently we know that ATA_ERR can be returned; it is not error, but one of
expected responses. Why we cannot request sense without EH? I would like to
understand is it implementation drawback or I missed something probably?

Thank you,
