OK, so this patch should be an interim one until I can blacklist the
devices permanently.

What it does is allow the Adaptec firmware to pass on its values for
Packetize and QAS ... you just need to set Packetize to 'no' for the
tape device in the bios and the kernel (after this patch) will respect
the setting and not try to enable information units.
