Oh, right, now I understand.  With USB 2.0, we might have one status URB
per LUN, but they're being queued to the same endpoint ring.  Since the
device can re-order the commands any way it likes, we can't rely on the
scsi_device that's stored on the urb->context to be correct.

Ok, I think we just need to divide the tag address space equally between
devices.  The devinfo can keep track of the pointers to the scsi_devices
for each LUN, and what tag range each LUN has.  So if you have 255 tags
available, and two LUNs, you can give one of them tag 1 to 122, and the
other tags 123 to 254.
