For the first make sure to return -ENXIO from ->slave_alloc, the scsi_scan
code special-cases that one and doesn't print an error.  For the second
I don't care too much.  The midlayer blacklist and if nessecary the
runtime updates to it will handle such devices just fine, but following
them nvram might not be a bad idea either.

The driver will never receice a command for the host adapter (unless it
allocates a scsi_device for the host adapter itself, as e.g. gdth does)
