[PATCH] Limit max_luns to 16k

Hi all,

I have encountered a really nice aliasing error in the SCSI stack.
(I only hope Luben is not reading this, it'll be just the thing he'd 
want to hear :-)

Some device allow for a max lun number larger than 16k.
Eg qla2xxx has this:

#define MAX_FIBRE_LUNS         0xFFFF

If we encounter a SCSI-2 device with has
BLIST_SPARSELUN | BLIST_LARGELUN
set we'll end up doing a sequential scan of all 64k luns.

However, according to SAM the top two bits are reserved for hierarchical 
addressing. So if we're using a lun _number_ larger than 16k we'll 
infact are using the flat addressing model of the LUN with mask 0xC000.

So essentially a device at LUN 0x0 will be aliased to LUN 0xC000 et al 
and hence will be seen detected several times from SCSI ML.

The easy way out here is to _not_ scan past 16k; this will 'fix' this 
issue. Affected drivers are qla2xxx and lpfc.

However, I feel in the long run we should at least detect hierarchical 
luns and issue a warning there. Just think of hierarchical LUNs being 
returned from REPORT_LUNS ...
