If I understand what this does correctly, you snoop the inquiry field in
slave configure and then send a vendor specific opcode that the tape
understands (in the event that it reports TLR in its PSLU page)?

Really, no, this isn't appropriate for code in a driver, since I assume
enabling TLR via this command on these things should be independent of
the particular SAS HBA, so it should probably be a transport specific
blacklist.

The next thing ... since TLR is a per port setting in the protocol
specific LU page is that we should probe it and keep its setting within
the transport class as well.
