Limiting max_lun to 255 will make the driver to _not_ respond to LUNs higher

Also the SCSI stack will be using REPORT LUNS anyway since you're
advertising SPC-2 compliance. So your driver runs into issues if Hyper-V
would ever return more than 256 LUNs with the REPORT LUN command or if any
of the LUNs has an addressing scheme other than
'0x00'.
I would suggest to raise this to the technical limit (ie the largest LUN
which the _protocol_ supports) and let REPORT LUNS deal with the actual
LUNs.

I suspect hypverv doesn't support anything more.  For now I'd be
inclined to just put it in ASAP and if your suggestion works out fix it
up later, although I'll wait a bit for more review feedback.

Okay, that's fine by me.

Cheers,

Hannes
