If you do the processing in the umass driver then camcontrol still 
works.  What I'm talking about, and I believe that Warner is agreeing 
with, is sniffing the completion of all CDB's to see which ones are
READ_CAPACITY responses, and then fudging the data before calling 
xpt_done().

It would require similar handling as the CD driver, where the capacity
can essentially change during a burning session.
