Nah, we don't want to do that. A LUN is like a CDB, there is no
MSB or LSB, just a sequence of bytes, 1st, 2nd, etc. Only when
being printed, is when you want to impose MSB, so that you can
print it humanly readable -- i.e. so that when the customer looks
at their manual/storage app, they can see the LUN and recognize it.
