In the meantime I found out that I need to identify the RAID controller as a
sparse LUN device. This works fine as long as there is a host drive mapped to
LUN 0. If there is no host drive mapped to LUN 0, we run into a bug of the SCSI
scanning code: The variable *sparse_lun=1 never gets set and any other host
drives at LUNs > 0 are not detected. This problem has already been discussed
in a different context previously
(http://groups.google.com/groups?q=scsi_scan.c&hl=en&safe=off&rnum=2&selm=F888C30C3021D411B9DA00B0D0209BE8FAB0EB%40cvo-exchange.roguewave.com).

The following patch fixes the problem, and I can't see any side effects. Please
review the patch, and if approved, include it in the kernel.

Cheers,

Roland
