As I explained earlier, it would be wrong to take this patch upstream without
having tested and measured the alternative I had proposed first
(https://www.spinics.net/lists/dm-devel/msg32282.html). My alternative handles
SCSI hosts with multiple LUNs properly but the patch at the start of this
e-mail thread not.
