This seems to conflic with Markus' series.  But if we want to invest
any major effort into it, we really need to different dispatch tables
for different device types.  There's two sane ways to do it:

one top-level handler with a switch per device type, or tables
with a handler pointer with a device type.  I'm fine with either one.

What I really don't get with this patch is the listing of all the different
SCSI device types.  It's already a mistake that we tried to handle disks
and CDROMs with the same driver, but adding even more just makes it worth.

IMHO we should simply have one file per SCSI spec, e.g. an spc.c for the
common bits, then an sbc.c for disks, and mmc.c for cdroms.  Maybe more
the day we add more emulated device types.
