+ * MAX_COMMAND_SIZE is:

+ * fixed-length means: commands that their size can be determined
+ * by their opcode and the CDB does not carry a length specifier, (unlike
+ * the VARIABLE_LENGTH_CMD(0x7f) command). This is actually not exactly
+ * true and the SCSI standard also defines extended commands and
+ * vendor specific commands that can be bigger than 16 bytes. The kernel
+ * will support these using the same infrastructure used for VARLEN CDB's.
+ * So in effect MAX_COMMAND_SIZE means the maximum size command scsi-ml
+ * supports without specifying a cmd_len by ULD's
