Re: [Bug 80711] [PATCH]SG_FLAG_LUN_INHIBIT is no longer implemented and there's not way to prevent the kernel from using the 2nd cdb byte for the LUN

Good idea.  An enhanced patch is below.  If I can get a Tested-By: from
Tiziano and one or two Acked-By: responses, I'll submit this for the
current and stable kernels.

Sending the initial INQUIRY command to LUNs larger than 0 involves a
chicken-and-egg problem -- we don't know whether to fill in the LUN
bits in the command until we know the SCSI level, and we don't know the
SCSI level until the INQUIRY response is received.  The solution we 
have been using is to store the most recently discovered level in the 
target structure, and use it as a default.  If probing starts with LUN 
0, and if all the LUNs have similar levels, this ought to work.

Except for one thing: The code does store the default level in the
scsi_target, but forgets to copy it back into each newly allocated
scsi_device!  I added a line to do that into the patch.
