My only real objection is that UINT_MAX appears to be completely
coincidental. What if the next drive specifies UINT_MAX-1 or $RANDOM?
Lacking a decent heuristic I'd rather just blacklist the offending drive
using the skip_vpd_pages knob we already have in place.

[SCSI] Workaround for disks that report bad optimal transfer length
Not all disks fill out the VPD pages correctly. Add a blacklist flag
that allows us ignore the SBC-3 VPD pages for a given device. The
BLIST_SKIP_VPD_PAGES flag triggers our existing skip_vpd_pages
scsi_device parameter to bypass VPD scanning.
Also blacklist the offending Seagate drive model.
