ipr does present devices as one per port, but ipr can also have 'n' ports
per host adapter, so it cannot simply use the scsi_host's max_cmd_len.

The other option would be to move this check into the SAS only path
since it would be the only user that would need this since SATA
users can use scsi_host->max_cmd_len. I'll roll this into my patchset
so you can take a look...
