If those are the only LUs you specificly need I'd suggest you just
manually call scsi_add_device from your driver for those instead of
listing them in REPORT_LUNS and making them part of the normal LUN
scan.  One advantage of the well known LUNs is that you always know
where in the LUN namespace they are :)
