Hi,

However, drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c does not exist.

It's likely that files have been moved and/or renamed since I wrote that document.

drivers/scsi/scsi_ioctl.c and block/scsi_ioctl.c do exist, but they don't seem to cover any of the
HDIO_* ioctls.

Does SCSI cover any of these ioctls at all?

Look in the libata layer. I know that some of the ioctls are not implemented yet, or are incomplete.
