Isn't that what the quirk list is for?

That works for my box, but what about for others? Like those who may
have both a multi-lun device and a single-lun device that hangs on a
non-zero lun? What about the average luser who can't be bothered to
hack-up his startup scripts or *gasp* rebuild his kernel?
It seems like the quirk list is there for a reason. If we start
rejecting certain devices, then what is the criteria for a device to
actually make it on the list?
