Erm, there's a simple way out of this: That's the BLIST_FORCELUN
option. This is why most of the RAID devices have entries in
scsi_devinfo.c like:
{"ADAPTEC", "AACRAID", NULL, BLIST_FORCELUN},
Which overrides the CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN setting for the particular
device. We can easily add an entry for stex as well.
