So I wasn't quite sure about that.  The allocation length field for an
INQUIRY command is two bytes.  There are various fields that the SPC-3
doc says have to be a multiple of 4, but I couldn't find anything that
says whether that applies to the allocation length.  Since the initial
value 252 is a muliple of 4, I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to have
the maximum be a multiple of 4 too.

OTOH if you look at scsi_get_vpd_buf() in drivers/scsi/scsi.c, the
initial buffer size is SCSI_VPD_PG_LEN, which is 255.
