Wait, this is what I was afraid of.  We don't want to make the same 
mistake again that was made with USB and Firewire devices.  We had 
proliferating quirks (nearly a hundred at one point) just because device 
firmware couldn't properly reject the 6-byte commands, hanging instead.

Before we add more quirks, REPORT_LUNS should be implemented.  If it 
fixes this device, the quirk should also be removed.
