The legacy handling shifted the target ID by 0x80 only for I/O commands (READ/WRITE/etc), whereas megaraid_mbox shifts the target ID always if random deletion is supported. The resulted in megaraid_mbox sending an INQUIRY to the wrong channel, and not finding any devices, obviously. So we disable the random deletion support if the offending firmware is found.
