except that... it seems sp->u.iocb_cmd.u.ctarg.rsp is a pointer to void
and not a struct of type struct ct_sns_gpnft_rsp. :O

drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h:474:
struct ct_arg {
void *iocb;
u16 nport_handle;
dma_addr_t req_dma;
dma_addr_t rsp_dma;
u32 req_size;
u32 rsp_size;
u32 req_allocated_size;
u32 rsp_allocated_size;
void *req;
void *rsp;
port_id_t id;
};

I wonder if you wanted to point out something entirely different...?
