I think the LUN-to-int translation should depend on the LUN addressing method supported by the target. SAM-5 defines the following LUN addressing methods:
a) peripheral device addressing method;
b) flat space addressing method;
c) logical unit addressing method,
d) extended logical unit addressing method;
e) long extended logical unit addressing method.

scsilun_to_int() does the translation correctly for some of these addressing methods but not for all of them.
