These are still good with me and we'll likely have a similar future use
for passing data through the ioctl.

Could we get this staged for 5.3?

This patch series extends SED Opal support: it adds IOCTL for setting the shadow
MBR done flag which can be useful for unlocking an Opal disk on boot and it adds
IOCTL for writing to the shadow MBR.

This applies on current master.

I successfully tested toggling the MBR done flag and writing the shadow MBR
using some tools I hacked together[1] with a Samsung SSD 850 EVO drive.

Changes from v1:
* PATCH 2/3: remove check with access_ok, just rely on copy_from_user as
suggested in [2] (I tested passing data == 0 and I got the expected EFAULT)
