SPC-3 (at least the draft, rev 23 I'm looking at) doesn't know an
'Offline' state - I think it's a SPC-4 feature. So maybe 'Unavailable'
should be interpreted as path failure as well / instead?

Hmmm, maybe I'm just missing something so CMIIW, but I think the PG
state should be retrieved once more before finally calling
dm_pg_init_complete(), because the target might return the STPG command
before the transition has completed (SPC-3, 6.31). This could confuse
application clients?
