SPC-2 and SPC-3 (or later) differ in the handling of reservation conflict for TEST UNIT READY. SPC-2 will return 'reservation conflict', whereas SPC-3 will return GOOD status. On a mixed system with both SPC-2 and SPC-3 targets one will see lots of 'reservation conflict' messages from the SPC-2 system but no messages from the SPC-3 system when eg multipath path checkers. These messages might confuse the unsuspecting user although in fact they just signal normal operation. So we should not be printing out 'reservation conflict' for TEST UNIT READY responses.
