What's the transition plan for userspace?  If you look at glibc
currently, it supplies both scsi.h and scsi_ioctl.h.  If we're
persuading the glibc folks to go with our versions from uapi, I think
removing a file which is an effective compile breaker for userspace is a
really bad idea.  Duplicating scsi_ioctl.h definitions in scsi.h would
also cause them problems.
