So the only 'proper' solution would be to add a bitmap of supported

space required for struct sdev.
Which I'm a bit reluctant do to, as it'll be a sparse array in most
cases, adding to quite some wasted space.
Why per sdev? Isn't it per target? The supported EVPD page list
shouldn't really vary for luns of the same target unless something very
strange is happening in the array.
Spec says it's per LUN:
Specs say a lot of "interesting" things. The question is what's common
practise in the field.
I have a SAS controller (not from a major) that in jbod
mode sends through different physical SAS and SATA disks
as different LUNs in the _same_ target.
Needless to say on a target from that controller there is not
a lot of commonality between its LUN's VPD page sets.
Would it be possible in a sysfs VPD info directory to have
a timestamp (e.g. CLOCK_MONOTONIC) of when the VPD info
was read?
