The original patch was for some IBM ipr array that behaves stupidly and
requires a START_UNIT after a reset.  I suspect this was the reason the
type check was in there.  However, if there's a use for this outside the
particular array, then it should be taken out.

Note that there may be a bit of work necessary to make this function for
USB: it's keyed to the standard response CC/UA/LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY,
INITIALIZING COMMAND REQUIRED.  Since USB devices aren't necessarily
standards compliant in this regard, simply setting the bit may not work.
