The specific problem is that a cmd_per_lun of zero breaks everything
because we use it for the initial queue depth and if you don't actually
set it, you get zero (because the template is in static memory).  This
should be a global fix that changes the default initial queue depth to 1
for the probe phase if it's unset in the template or the host.

Hopefully this should set us up for removing cmd_per_lun.
