Nit (but preferred) : change "no_target_scan" to "disable_target_scan".
Otherwise, patch is good.

1 to disable. Avoid changing the drivers...

Yep. However, I don't agree with Hannes in this case. Given that the
firmware is already doing funky things to share the real adapter, I
believe it (or the driver) should do the right thing in the LUN
presentation to keep the system happy. But - I guess that's something
for a different time.
