Oh, I totally forgot about single_lun.  Given that it is only set
for ancient CD changers I'm not even sure that code works properly
anymore.  Having common code that is exercised regularly by mmc would
certainly be better than the current SCSI code, but I'm not sure how
well this is going to work out.
