So I'm not against this type of patch in principle ... we do need to add
support for SAS-2 expanders.  However, the table to table configuration
is illegal and non-functional for SAS-1 expanders, so we can't just drop
it globally; it's also optional in SAS-2 not mandatory.  We can tell if
an expander supports table to table routing from byte 10 in the report
general response ... this type of check should be keyed off that.  [As
should probably a whole host of other things, such as not trying to
construct the routing table if the expander is self configuring].
