If we want drivers to mess with blist flags that's the more general
solution, yes.  But the blist flags really are a target thing and
I'd prefer to keep host drivers a bit away from this.  Of course
this doesn't really work for the usb case where the host driver only
deals with emulated targets that are all completly hosed.

Maybe sdev->scsi_level should recognize a new level, SCSI_TOTALLY_B0RKED
for those usb-storage devices where the vendor somehow heard of the
spec but nothing that isn't excercised by the windows drivers has
the slightest chance of working..
