Hongxu Jia 79d73346ac ide:ide-cd: fix kernel panic resulting from missing scsi_req_init
Since we split the scsi_request out of struct request, while the
standard prep_rq_fn builds 10 byte cmds, it missed to invoke
scsi_req_init() to initialize certain fields of a scsi_request
structure (.__cmd[], .cmd, .cmd_len and .sense_len but no other
members of struct scsi_request).

An example panic on virtual machines (qemu/virtualbox) to boot
from IDE cdrom:
...

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
