ses
structure to save restore information
cmnd

cmnd_size
size in bytes of cmnd (must be <= BLK_MAX_CDB)
sense_bytes
size of sense data to copy. or 0 (if != 0 cmnd is ignored)

This function is used to save a scsi command information before re-execution as part of the error recovery process. If sense_bytes is 0 the
