    I think you can safely assume he has more important things to do.

    Not emulating an INQUIRY properly via SG_IO isn't acceptable since it's
    a mandatory command.

    libata does all this correctly. I strongly suggest you find a way to
    share the code rather than trying to reinvent it yourself. But anyway,
    if you want to know how it should work, look in libata-scsi.c
