After looking at /sys/conf/NOTES...:
-----
# The sg driver provides a passthrough API that is compatible with the
# Linux SG driver.  It will work in conjunction with the COMPAT_LINUX
# option to run linux SG apps.  It can also stand on its own and provide
# source level API compatiblity for porting apps to FreeBSD.
