I think here at least, lun indeed can be 0, at least there's a test there:

    if (!(lun & (1 << pACB->pScsiHost->this_id)))
      printk (KERN_ERR "DC390: Reselection must select host adapter: %02x!\n", lun);

So, it is possible, that the "1 << this_id" bit is not set, then possibly 
it can be 0 too... Although from the hardware / SCSI PoV I'm not sure TBH. 
To be on the safe side we could at least add a check for 0 and only use 
ilog2, for != 0.

Thanks
