If the properties of the volume behind a particular LUN are changed,
shouldn't something like ASC/ASCQ 3F 03 INQUIRY DATA HAS CHANGED,
3F 04 DEVICE IDENTIFIER CHANGED be reported?  Or can we not expect
this if a LUN is removed and then re-added without an intervening
REPORT LUNS command?  (In that case, the REPORT LUNS data returned
will be no different.)
