Minimally, the assumptions articulated by the SAM (ANSI X3.270-1996,
Information Technology - SCSI-3 Architecture Model).

SAM explicitly indicates that for each SCSI command, a buffer or
buffers are supplied, from which data is sent, and to which data is
received.  This model does not admit the network-style buffering model
of posting a pool of buffers into which data from ANY SCSI command may
be received.
