Unfortunately, the current blacklist mechanism is embedded in scsi_devinfo.c and isn't amenable to modification. This patch series 1/3: Fixes the problem with devinfo so that the transport classes can use it. The interface is deliberately in scsi_priv.h so the hosts can't use it 2/3: Updates some minor problems with the SPI transport class capability code (instead of believing the inquiry data, it now believes only its own settings) 3/3: Add the ultrium tape drives to the new blacklist code.
