Wrong: Cdrecord does not bypass the kernel driver!

Cdrecord uses the SCSI kernel driver to send SCSI commands to the drive.
The way cdrecord does this, is the only portable way across different
UNIX platforms.

Cdrecord currently runs on:

	SunOS
	Solaris
	Linux
	FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD
	SGI-IRIX
	HP-UX
	AIX
	NeXT Step
	Apple Rhapsody
