But it feels even sillier having to whitelist every

that EMC Clariion won't work properly without this patch.
And the idea was to mark off _misbehaving_ drives, not the other way
round.
It's the idea, but it has to prove workable as well in the end.
That being said I'd prefer to allow Hannes patch in and see what
the fallout is.
I don't have many drafts archived for SPC-2 but the two that I do have:
spc2r18.pdf [20000521]
spc2r20.pdf [20010718]
indicate that those two VPD pages were made mandatory right at the
end of the draft cycle for SPC-2. spc2r20.pdf was the last draft
prior to the standard and it does show them as mandatory in table 185
on page 218. The corresponding table in spc2r18.pdf does not have
a column indicating whether the listed VPD pages are mandatory or
not (or words that I can find in the description of VPD pages 0x0
and 0x83 to suggest they are mandatory).
