Any ideas?
We need to use full 8byte LUNs then. 
* We can use them as opaque handles. Clean, but resulting in crazy numbers
  which sysadmins will hate us for.
* Reorder the bytes as currently done, but for all 8 of them. Less clean
  conceptually, but resulting in low LUNs and not changing the behaviour
  for already supported devices.

I'm in favour of the second solution.
Want a patch?
