Is these the COMPAQ HSV and MSA devices that need the spinup?
The qlogic driver conditionally sends a spinup for the
FO_NOTIFY_TYPE_SPINUP. AFAICT it is all or nothing since it is based on
the global variable qla_fo_params.FailoverNotifyType, so mixing arrays
where some require spinup and some don't could break it.
# grep FO_NOTIFY_TYPE_SPINUP *.[hc]
qla_cfg.c: } else if (qla_fo_params.FailoverNotifyType ==
FO_NOTIFY_TYPE_SPINUP ||
qla_cfg.c: old_lp->fcport->notify_type ==
FO_NOTIFY_TYPE_SPINUP ){
