scsi_free_consistent_buf()

Free a previously allocated SCSI DMA I/O buffer

scsi_init_pkt()

Prepare a complete SCSI packet

scsi_destroy_pkt()

Free an allocated SCSI packet and its DMA resource

scsi_setup_cdb()

Set up SCSI command descriptor block (CDB)

scsi_transport()

Start a SCSI command

scsi_poll()
