The SPC-4 spec says about the INQUIRY data, in "Table 138 -- Peripheral
qualifier":

> Qualifier = 011b  The device server is not capable of supporting a
>                   peripheral device on this logical unit. For this
>                   peripheral qualifier the peripheral device type shall
>                   be set to 1Fh. All other peripheral device type values
>                   are reserved for this peripheral qualifier.

Accordingly, the DiscoverScsiDevice() function returns FALSE if
Peripheral_Qualifier is 3 decimal, but Peripheral_Type differs from 1Fh.
This is a valid sanity check -- such combinations are reserved.

When Peripheral_Qualifier is 3, and Peripheral_Type is 1Fh, then
DiscoverScsiDevice() returns TRUE. While this combination is not reserved,
returning TRUE for it is incorrect: Peripheral_Type 1Fh stands for
"Unknown or no device type", and this combination is returned in
particular when the INQUIRY command was directed to a nonexistent LUN.
Quoting the spec:

> In response to an INQUIRY command received by an incorrect logical unit,
> the SCSI target device shall return the INQUIRY data with the peripheral
> qualifier set to the value defined in 6.4.2. [...]
>
> [...]
>
> The PERIPHERAL QUALIFIER field and PERIPHERAL DEVICE TYPE field identify
> the peripheral device connected to the logical unit. If the SCSI target
> device is not capable of supporting a peripheral device connected to
> this logical unit, the device server shall set these fields to 7Fh
> (i.e., PERIPHERAL QUALIFIER field set to 011b and PERIPHERAL DEVICE TYPE
> field set to 1Fh).

The consequence of this bug is that for each nonexistent Target/LUN pair,
we produce a useless ScsiIo protocol interface. The internal
"ScsiIoDevice->ScsiDeviceType" field will be set to 0x1f, and it will be
returned to higher-level SCSI drivers when they call
ScsiIo->GetDeviceType().

Given that 0x1f means "Unknown or no device type", no higher-level driver
can ever support it, so these ScsiIo protocol interfaces are useless.

The fix is to return FALSE for the (Peripheral_Qualifier=3,
Peripheral_Type=0x1f) combination. With that however we reject the whole
Peripheral_Qualifier=3 space (justifiedly -- see the definition above),
which lets us simplify the code.
