Please, don't do this.

'max_lun' should only be set if the HBA / transport has some hard
limitations on the number of bytes it can use.
Otherwise the scanning algorithm in scsi_scan.c should do the
correct thing, independent on the 'max_lun' setting.

If qemu has some issues here someone should rather fix qemu ...

Cheers,

Hannes
