Yet another fix is to fully prohibit the user to set scsi_version

Another fix is ... no fix. I am not sure how far the design philosophy
of passthrough devices allows the user to overwrite device parameters in
despite of their real values, but .... what if the user wants to
enforce a scsi_version when using a scsi-block device? The device will
surely behave badly, but the user explicitly enforced it via command
line, so perhaps let him/her have at it?
Yeah, that was the idea. Removing it is as easy as dropping the
DEFINE_PROP_INT32 and initializing to -1 in scsi_block_realize (just
like for scsi_generic_realize), but for now we can keep it. My usecase
was more to downgrade scsi_version from newer to 2.
I agree. +1 for pulling the patch series as is.
Thanks,
