Just what I've already said: it doesn't fix the whole problem.

Since there's already filtering in the stor thread, just use that to
return ILLEGAL REQUEST, which is what the devices would return if their
firmware didn't crash.  I frankly don't understand the problem with
this: it's the least invasive patch and it fixes the whole problem (with
fewer lines of code).  Why invoke multiple subsystem complexity (and not
fix the entire problem) when single system simplicity will work (and fix
everything)?
