In principle I think that Linux drivers should not carry workarounds

Please consider ARAnyM is the current m68k workhorse, so it would be
nice to handle this someway.
AFAICT atari_scsi on aranym never did anything useful. Those aranym users
who need to run Linux 4.5 can set CONFIG_ATARI_SCSI=n or blacklist the
atari_scsi module (up until aranym can be patched).
Alternatively, we need to fix ARAnyM,
I'll look into writing a patch for the emulator after I've finished
testing the exception handling fixes for the driver.
or can make the creation of the atari_scsi platform device conditional
on not running under ARAnyM.
Fixing the emulator is the only sensible approach. If S operating systems
have to carry workarounds for B emulator bugs, the cost is (at least)
proportional to S * B.
