But this isn't the problem.

I'll look into the mid layer changes and see if we have a problem.
However, this device does respond correctly (with an error) to
REPORT_LUNS (however, at the moment, for me, the current setup is a
great test of ATA error handling).

When I have it on the aic94xx it terminates the command and sends back a
Register D2H FIS with

error = 0x54 (sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST, ABRT)
status = 0x51 (DRDY, SERV, CHK)

So the device does a correct termination for an unsupported command.
The problem seems to be that mvsas isn't terminating and picking up the
register D2H fis properly.  Which, in turn seems to be connected with
the way it's not really processing a RXQ_ERR return.

This is a perfectly proper termination, and the scan routine will
proceed normally without invoking any error handling (it's aware of the
conflict between SPC and MMC regarding REPORT_LUNS).
