From: Mike Christie <mchristi@redhat.com>
Subject: [PATCH RHEL5] don't create scsi_device at lun0 for pq=1

This is for BZ 205802.

Targets like Netapp, return PQ=1 for LUN 0 if the LUN is not mapped.
PQ=1 means:

The device server is capable of supporting the specified peripheral
device type on this logical unit. However, the physical device is not
currently connected to this logical unit.

Currently scsi-ml will create a sort of dummy scsi_device when PQ=1 is
returned. Later if the usr maps a device to LUN0 and wants to rescan,
scsi-ml will just detect the dummy device (but not that it is a dummy
device) and skip rescanning it.

The attached patch modifies scsi-ml so that devices are not created when
PQ=1. It is upstream in the scsi maintainer's tree for 2.6.19. I have
only done some basic testing by connecting devices and making sure they
are scanned and that this fixes the problem on netapp targets.
