I took a look at your patch and it looks great.  I have worked on a
storage product before where there
was a requirement to reprogram the firmware of hard drives.  On tha product=
,
proprietary Windows tools had to be used.  It would have been nice to
be able to use camcontrol in FreeBSD.

I think the patch is fine in its current form.  Very few "regular
users" need to reprogram hard drive firmware.
It is a special administrative operation.
