Speaking of sbp2 problems... Why the _hell_ are we blacklisting on

The firmware_revision CSR key value has so far been a good method to
guesstimate the bridge chip. I don't know a better one.
Case in point: Initio bridge, firmware revision 2.21. Couldn't care
less about long INQUIRY, doesn't need skip_ms_page_8, *DOES* need
correctly detected cache type.

I agree.
I posted an improved blacklisting patch a few days ago. Among other
small cleanups, I removed skip_ms_page_8 from the Initio blacklist entry.
